MUSIC: Charlie Musselwhite & GA-20: Together Onstage!

Description

Blues Now brings together harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite and acclaimed trio GA-20 for a collaboration rooted in tradition and forward momentum. A Grammy Award-winning artist with a career spanning more than 60 years, Musselwhite remains a defining voice of Chicago blues. GA-20, formed in 2018, has quickly built a national reputation with multiple Billboard Blues chart-topping releases and a raw, high-energy approach grounded in classic electric blues. Their album Blues Now (New West Records) captures the group's live, in-the-room chemistry, blending original material and reimagined classics. "We're not making a pop record. This is Blues," says guitarist Matthew Stubbs. Musselwhite adds, "I'm always open for keeping things interesting." Balancing grit, groove, and improvisation, the project reflects a shared lineage and a contemporary edge-an intergenerational exchange that keeps the blues immediate, vital, and firmly rooted in the present.
