The Zlock Performing Arts Center hosts the Eighth Annual Bucks Blues Explosion, featuring blues trio GA-20, at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 5.
GA-20 is more than just a band; it is leading a movement, a revival of traditional blues. The dynamic trio, consisting of guitarist Matt Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty, and drummer Tim Carman, brings a fresh and energetic take on traditional electric blues, blending elements of blues, country, and rock ‘n’ roll into their signature sound.
“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.” Since their formation in 2018, GA-20 has been at the forefront of the traditional blues revival, earning accolades and skyrocketing to the top of the Billboard Blues Charts.
Joining GA-20 for this electrifying evening is local blues artist Deb Callahan and her band, who will kick off the event with their soulful and powerful blues melodies.
The Eighth Annual Bucks Blues Explosion is presented in partnership with the Bucks County Blues Society at the Zlock Performing Arts Center on the Newtown campus of Bucks County Community College.
