American rock band GA-20 takes the stage in Malmö.
GA-20 is a blues trio from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 2018 by guitarist Matthew Stubbs - a longtime member of Charlie Musselwhite's touring band - alongside vocalist/guitarist Cody Nilsen and drummer Josh Kiggans. The band plays raw, stripped-back electric blues rooted in the Chicago sound of the 1950s and '60s, using vintage instruments and live-to-floor recording methods. Their studio albums have all debuted at No. 1 or No. 2 on the Billboard Blues chart, and they have won the Boston Music Award for Best Blues Act four times.
GA-20's collaborative album Blues Now with harmonica legend Charlie Musselwhite was released on July 31, 2026 via New West Records.
Blues Now received a 4-star review from MOJO, which called it an 'intergenerational blues summit between the harmonica legend and the young trio'.
GA-20 announced an extensive EU and UK autumn tour including dates in Prague, Silkeborg, Malmö, Helsinki, Leeds, Edinburgh, Chester, London and Paris.
The EP Volume 2 was released in May 2025, featuring new guitarist/vocalist Cody Nilsen, who joined after Pat Faherty's departure in late 2024.
The single 'Cryin' & Pleadin'' reached No. 1 on B.B. King's Bluesville Top 15 Rack of Blues and held that position for five consecutive weeks.
