The Mid Wales Rhythm & Blues Club in association with RockinNights Promo and The Muse Brecon presents... Misty Blues - ‘After 25 Years There’s Still Enough Blues, Soul and Funk in The Tank For Another 25.’

On Sunday, June 29, the band will be performing at The Muse from 7:30pm until 11pm - doors open at 7pm.

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 with the likes of Charles Neville, Joe Louis Walker, Eric Gales, Kat Riggins and Justin Johnson, and opened for contemporary blues artists 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., UK and Canada. The band has been nominated for several Independent Blues Music Awards and their original recordings have received broad international airplay and topped countless blues, folk and American roots charts.

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 cast 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 musical direction. Coleman heeded his advice, and after 25 years and 16 albums, Misty Blues has stood the test of time.

The band are now bringing their talents across the pond to Mid Wales.
