If It's Too Loud...

Photo by John O'Donnell GA-20 are a Boston based band made up of Pat Faherty and Matthew Stubbs (of Charlie Musselwhite's band and Matthew Stubbs and The Antiguas). The project is a modern version of traditional blues, R&B, and early rock 'n' roll. Their new single, "Lonely Soul," is all of that.

Current tour dates are below the song. Sep 06 - Strange Brew Tavern - Manchester, NH  Sep 07 - Tree House Brewin...
