Misty Blues Band with support from The Burnside Burners

 MISTY BLUES BAND

  
2019 International Blues Challenge finalist, Misty Blues, is fronted by lead singer/band founder Gina Coleman. Misty Blues performs extensively throughout New England and has toured the continental U.S., Canada and the UK.
The band has been nominated for a number of Independent Blues Music Awards and their original recordings have broad international airplay. In 2024 the band had a song they released selected for use in a U.S. Presidential campaign ad.

In the summer of 1999 Gina Coleman was performing in the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin In The Sun. That production featured the acting of Ruben Santiago Hudson, Viola Davis, Kimberly Elise and Gloria Foster. Coleman was cast as a gospel singer. Nearing the end of the show’s run, Ruben Santiago Hudson gave Coleman a cd collection entitled Men Are Like Streetcars. He told her that her voice was perfectly suited for the blues and urged her to take that next musical direction. Coleman heeded his advice, and after a quarter of a century, Misty Blues has stood the test of time.

Come this August the Band will have released 17th albums and their current touring band includes:

Gina Coleman (vocals)
Seth Fleischmann (guitar)
Aaron Dean (sax)
Rob Tatten (drums)
Diego Mongue (bass)
David Vittone (keys)

Misty Blues pays homage to the older blues made popular by the bold and brassy women of its time, while still paying respect to classic male artists of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. The band hasn’t completely abandoned their musical roots; they have been known to perform classic rock and folk tunes infused with a healthy dose of the blues.
