WALDOBORO — “GA-20 clearly is on to something big,” said the Waldo Theatre, in a news release. “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.”

The band will be performing at the Waldo Theatre, March 8, 2024, at 7:30 p.m.

“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 and 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 Charts,” said The Waldo.

Since first forming in 2018, GA-20 has drawn inspiration for their old-school sounds from the music they love by artists such as Otis Rush, J.B. Lenoir, Howlin’ Wolf, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Lloyd Price, Johnny “Guitar” Watson and so many others.

“Performing with what feels like reckless abandon, GA-20 brings a timeless immediacy to every song they play with a sound that continues to grow and evolve,” said the release.

“We’re proud to bring this sound to a new audience,” says Stubbs. “When people hear it, they get what we’re doing and they’re into it. It’s very important to us to make a personal connection,” he continues. “Blues is meant to be played live. It’s about telling stories. We love making records but performing live is even more important to us.”

Concessions, including beer and wine will be available at the show. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $25 in advance online and $30 on the day of the show. A limited number of front row seats are available. Visit www.thewaldotheatre.org for more information about tickets, upcoming events, and parking.
