Support from Graham Hind
Friday June 27th
8.00 - 11.30
Having started as a folk/rock singer Gina Coleman was led down the path of blues after playing a gospel singer in a Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin in the Sun. Misty Blues was born bringing blues to the Berkshires in Massachusetts and has been performing original and traditional blues with influences from folk, jazz, soul, funk and tent revival gospel since 1999. Misty Blues pays homage to the older blues made popular by the bold and brassy women of the time while still paying respect to classic male artists of the 20s, 30s and 40s.
The band has recorded with notable names from the US scene, performs extensively throughout New England and has toured the continental U.S., UK and Canada. The band has been nominated for several Independent Blues Music Awards and their original recordings have received broad international airplay and topped countless blues, folk and American roots charts.
This is a rare opportunity to catch them while they are in the UK More about them here:
