G Livelab, Puutarhakatu 1, 33100 Tampere
Bändin kolmas ja uusin täyspitkä julkaisu, Crackdown, on konstailematonta bluesia. Levyllä yhtye tasapainoilee perinteisen ja modernimman, raikkaan bluessoundin välillä. Crackdown-albumilla GA-20 syventää ilmaisuaan ammentamalla inspiraatiota muun muassa varhaisesta sähköbluesista, countrysta ja rock ’n’ rollista.
Albumin yhdeksän alkuperäiskappaleen joukosta suosituimpia ovat Louisiana-vivahteinen Dry Run, likainen ja paljas Easy On The Eyes sekä tarttuva Fairweather Friend. Napakat ja energiset esiintymiset, mieliinpainuvat ja nerokkaasti rakennetut kappaleet ovat nostaneet GA-20:n nykybluesin suunnannäyttäjäksi.

GA-20 clearly is on to something big. It’s a movement, a new traditional blues revival. The dynamic, throwback blues trio are disciples of the place where traditional blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric blues we love.” Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty, and drummer Tim Carman have been at the forefront of this traditional blues revival since they first formed in 2018. It’s no wonder they skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard Blues Chart.
According to Stubbs, “Since we started the band we’ve focused on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood. Playing live as much as we do, we’re finding more and more that people are discovering how cool it all is. Traditional country, soul and funk music have all had these massive recent revivals, but traditional blues so far has not.” With their new Colemine album, Crackdown, and an intensive tour schedule, that’s all about to change.
On Crackdown, GA-20’s third full-length release, the band creates an unvarnished, ramshackle blues that is at once traditional and refreshingly modern. Expanding on their previous releases (2019’s Lonely Soul and 2021’s Try It…You Might Like It! GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor) GA-20 finds inspiration on the edges of the genre, where early electric blues first converged with country and rock ‘n’ roll. The album’s nine original songs include the loping, Louisiana-flavored Dry Run, the dirty, and bare-bones Easy On The Eyes and the melodic, garage-tinged Fairweather Friend. With tight, propulsive performances and a brevity and punk energy reminiscent of The Ramones, Crackdown is rowdy and fun, filled with instantly memorable, and well-crafted songs.
If the event is not sold out, there will be student tickets available at the door for 25 € each (student tickets not sold online) before the show starts. Please show your student card when purchasing student tickets. The concert has no age limit. Children under school age can enter gigs free of charge.
