 GA-20 Release Orphans – A Collection of Fan Favorites, Deep Cuts, and Blues Gems Release date: December 5, 2025 Few bands in modern blues embody authenticity and raw energy quite like GA-20. Led by guitarist Matthew Stubbs, the trio has built a reputation for electrifying performances and a no-frills approach to the music they love. “We play the music we would want to hear,” Stubbs explains and that ethos has resonated with audiences hungry for heavy, soulful blues. Stubbs’ pedigree is steeped in the tradition—having shared the stage with harmonica greats including Charlie Musselwhite, James Cotton, James Harman, and Lynwood Slim. A formative favorite from those years, Little Walter’s “My Baby Sweeter,” gets the GA-20 treatment here: stripped of harp, reimagined with Stubbs’ biting guitar leads, wide-open phrasing, and Cody Nilsen’s swaggering vocals, it’s blues delivered the GA-20 way. With Orphans, GA-20 (Stubbs – guitar, Nilsen – guitar & vocals, Josh Kiggans – drums) have gathered a set of songs that fans have long clamored for cuts once reserved for live shows, digital singles between records, or personal favorites that demanded a proper home. The album highlights the band’s tight interplay, raw sound, and Nilsen’s commanding vocal and guitar work, solidifying the group’s standing as one of the most vital voices in today’s blues revival. GA-20’s Orphans is more than a collection; it’s a statement of identity uncompromising, deeply rooted, and crafted for the fans who have been waiting for these songs to finally find their place on record.
