Since 2018, GA-20 have been a big part of the traditional Blues revival. The trio have long been disciples of the place where traditional Blues, Country and Rock ’n’ Roll intersect. They recently announced that they are saying goodbye to singer/guitarist Pat Faherty (who is parting ways with the band due to artistic differences), and are welcoming vocalist and slide guitarist Cody Nilsen.

Together with guitarist/founder Matthew Stubbs and drummer Joshua Kiggans, the trio forges ahead with “Cryin’ & Pleadin’” the first single from their upcoming EP Volume 2. The band’s version of Billy Boy Arnold’s classic “Cryin’ & Pleadin’” is rooted in the retro Chicago Blues sound while delivering their own fresh take.
