Misty Blues
Williamstown - Massachusetts - United States

 

MISTY BLUES:
2019 International Blues Challenge finalist, Misty Blues, is led 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 and shared the stage with Charles Neville, Joe Louis Walker, Eric Gales, Kat Riggins and opened for contemporary blues artists like Shemekia Copeland, Tab Benoit, Roomful Of Blues, John Primer, Albert Cummings, Mike Zito, Albert Castiglia, James Montgomery and Michael Powers. Misty Blues performs extensively throughout New England and has toured the continental U.S., Canada, Ireland and the UK. The band has been nominated for a few Independent Blues Music Awards. The band’s original recordings have wide radio airplay in the U.S. and UK. 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 casted 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 well 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.
