The band consists of guitarist Matt Stubbs, guitarist-singer Pat Faherty and drummer Tim Carman. They have been on the frontlines of blues since 2018 and reached the top spot on the Billboard Blues list, among other things. Matt Stubbs says that GA-20's music focuses on storytelling, melodies and creating an atmosphere.
The band's third and latest long play, Crackdown, is unpretentious blues. On the album, the band balances a traditional and a more modern, fresh blues sound. With the album, GA-20 reaches a deeper form of expression by drawing inspiration from early electric blues, country and rock 'n roll, among others.
Their snappy and energetic performances as well as memorable and ingeniously constructed pieces have made GA-20 a trendsetter in modern blues.
