GA-20 revisits the rough-cut 60s blues sound of Slim Harpo & Junior Wells

GA-20's Lonely Soul is available in a limited edition red wax version from Karma Chief Records via Colemine. Check it out below. 
GA-20 was formed by friends Pat Faherty and Matthew Stubbs – Charlie Musselwhite's longtime guitarist – in Boston last year. The project was born out of their mutual love of heavy traditional Blues, R&B, and Rock & Roll of the late 50s and early 60s. Faherty and Stubbs bonded over legendary artists like Lazy Lester, J.B. Lenoir, Earl Hooker, Slim Harpo, Otis Rush and Junior Wells. Feeling a void in current music, the duo have set out to write, record and perform a modern version of this beloved art form. Live, GA-20 is a trio of 2 guitars, vocals and drums. Raw, passionate and honest performance, both on stage and in the studio, is the only goal.

GA-20's Lonely Soul debut album for Karma Chief Records was produced by Matthew Stubbs, mastered by JJ Golden at Golden Mastering with lacquers cut at Well Made Music and then pressed at Gotta Groove Records where it was housed in a high quality Stoughton tip-on jacket. Get a copy of Lonely Soul from Colemine Records right here. Have a listen to the album after the clip of their recent live set at Paste Studio NYC and their new video for "Crackin' Up".
