SUMMARY:Misty Blues
DESCRIPTION:2019 International Blues Challenge finalist\, Misty Blues\, i
 s fronted by lead singer/band founder Gina Coleman. The band is based ou
 t of Berkshire County\, Massachusetts playing original and traditional b
 lues with hints of jazz\, soul\, funk and tent revival gospel since 1999
 . The band has recorded with Eric Gales\, Charles Neville\, Alexis P. Su
 ter\, Early Times\, Kat Riggins\, Candice Ivory and Joe Louis Walker\, a
 nd opened for contemporary blues artists like Mike Zito\, Albert Castigl
 ia\, Tab Benoit\, James Montgomery\, John Primer\, Roomful Of Blues\, Al
 bert Cummings and Michael Powers. Misty Blues performs extensively throu
 ghout New England and has toured the continental U.S.\, Canada and the U
 K. The band has been nominated for a few 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. Presidentia
 l campaign ad. In the summer of 1999 Gina Coleman was performing in the 
 Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin In The Sun. That pr
 oduction featured the acting of Ruben Santiago Hudson\, Viola Davis\, Ki
 mberly Elise and Gloria Foster. Coleman was cast as a gospel singer. Nea
 ring 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 musi
 cal direction. Coleman heeded his advice\, and after a quarter of a cent
 ury\, Misty Blues has stood the test of time.\n\nTickets: https://www.ev
