For twenty-five years, Misty Blues has been a cornerstone of the New England blues scene, blending tradition with innovation. Led by powerhouse vocalist Gina Coleman, the Berkshire-based band brings original and classic blues steeped in soul, jazz, funk, and gospel.
Formed in 1999, Misty Blues has since shared stages with legends, recorded with Charles Neville and Joe Louis Walker, and earned a spot as finalists in the International Blues Challenge. Their fifteenth album, Silver Lining, marks both a celebration and a reflection—an honest testament to the evolution of a band still pushing the blues forward.
Raw, brassy, and full of heart, Misty Blues brings the spirit of the blues home to Holyoke.
