MISTY BLUES

2019 International Blues Challenge finalist, Misty Blues, is fronted by lead singer/band founder Gina Coleman. The band is based out of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, playing original and traditional blues with hints of jazz, soul, funk, and tent revival gospel since 1999. The band has recorded with Eric Gales, Charles Neville, and Joe Louis Walker, and opened for contemporary blues artists like Mike Zito, Albert Castiglia, Tab Benoit, James Montgomery, John Primer, Roomful Of Blues, Albert Cummings, and Michael Powers. 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 few Independent Blues Music Awards, and their 17 albums have broad domestic and international airplay. In 2024, the band had a song they released selected for use in a U.S. Presidential campaign ad.

Band founder and lead singer, Gina Coleman, entered the music scene in the early 90’s as the lead singer of the folk/rock group Cole-Connection. It wasn’t until 1999 when she played a gospel singer in the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin In The Sun that she was steered down the path of blues. The production featured the acting of Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Viola Davis, Kimberly Elise, and Gloria Foster. Coleman was cast as a gospel singer. Near the end of the show's run, Reben Santiago Hudson gave Coleman a CD collection titled 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.

Over the years, Misty Blues has produced seventeen albums and was the subject of the Boston International Film Festival's selected documentary "Silver Lining." Today, the core members include Gina Coleman, Seth Fleischmann, Rob Tatten, Aaron Dean, and Diego Mongue.
