GA-20 with Charlie Musselwhite Release Album, Share New Video Ahead of CBS Saturday Morning Appearance

The new collaborative project that teams GA-20 with Charlie Musselwhite has released it’s much-anticipated new album. New West Records has issued Blues Now which was produced by the band’s Matthew Stubbs. Musselwhite’s mastery of the harmonica and his vocal artistry are a perfect complement to GA-20’s affinity for timeless blues expressions.

In conjunction with the album release, the four musician have released a video for “Cristo Redentor” from Blues Now. Stubbs says "Although Musselwhite didn’t write it, this is Charlie’s signature song and has become a modern blues classic. His virtuosic playing changed the profile of blues harmonica and it’s a fitting tribute to close out this album with our interpretation, in tandem with Cody Nilsen’s ethereal lap steel.”

Tomorrow, GA-20 will make their television debut on CBS Saturday Morning joined by Musselwhite. GA-20 will then take to the road for an extended tour. The group's complete tour itinerary appears beneath the video.

Holly Bowling Will Rejoin Greensky Bluegrass Following Bonus Guest-Abetted Flood City Performance

Greensky Bluegrass has collaborated with Holly Bowling on numerous occasions over the years. She appears on the band’s latest album 25 and joined them on their EP, The Iceland Sessions, among many other instances.

As the band’s Michael Arlen Bont told Relix in 2025, “She’s obviously a great player and plays with everybody. She’s that hired gun where if you want the best piano or organ player in your band, then you give her a call. She was always drawn to us because she loves our songwriting. She has a soft spot for songs that affect people. One of the things that makes her such a great fit for us is that even though she could play all of our parts at the same time, she’s also understated. She recognizes what her part should be in the music until it’s her time to go for it. Then she’s just amazing. We also get along personality wise. She’s just one of us—another misfit from Michigan.”

On July 26, the Michigan Misfits performed two sets together at the Flood City Music Festival in Johnstown, PA. The six musicians opened with an animated take on “Born Again,” which appears on The Iceland Sessions. Another earlier highlight was a run from Bob Dylan’s “When I Paint My Masterpiece” into “Lose My Way.” Then Jennifer Hartwick and Natalie Cressman appeared and added brass to “What You Need” and “Gumboots.” The second set featured a version of “Windshield” with all five members of Greensky joining Bowling on keys. The action later concluded with a sequence that began with “Distracted” (another song from The Iceland Sessions) that carried into the band’s classic “Don’t Lie,” then a cover of Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild” and back into “Don’t Lie.”

Billy Strings Shares New Song and Video “Dedicated to the Folks Back Home”

After teasing it via socials, Billy Strings has released a new single from his forthcoming album So Much for Goodbyes. He has indicated that the song “is dedicated to the folks back home. It’s a fictional story sing some non-fictional characters and places." The video for “Mill Town Flood” features art and ephemera that Strings has collected over the years. As the video description notes, “The vintage postcards and historical images featured in this video are drawn from the private collection of Billy Strings. Portions of this collection include materials generously shared with him by the Village of Muir, MI."

Strings produced So Much for Goodbyes with T Bone Burnett and it will come out on August 28 via Reprise Records. The album will be accompanied by original artwork created by Strings’ late mother, Debra Apostol. As Strings has noted, “I made this record to honor my mother,” Strings shares. “To notice and embrace this very significant period of grief in my life and make art from it. To turn my heartbreak into songs while using my guitar as a coping mechanism as I always have. It’s always been there for me to lean on through the hard times, and I figure it always will…until it’s my time to say goodbye.”

Strings' full statement about "Mill Town Flood" appears underneath the video…

Billy Martin / Matt Glassmeyer / Jonathan Goldberger: State Fête

If the sights, sounds and especially the smells of a big ol' state fair are characterized by too much of a muchness—e.g., fried everything, butter art and death-spewing tractor pulls—then this instrumental trio turns down the excess to a more sane setting of, say, beguiling funhouse mirrors (with the occasional two-headed barnyard denizen) on State Fête, their first document of spontaneous live studio composery. Drummer-percussionist Billy Martin, keyboardist-saxophonist Matt Glassmeyer and guitarist Jonathan Goldberger are all veteran miners of improv gold as members of combos both overground and underground. Their bios are as extended as their instrumental techniques—and that's sayin' something.

Martin's organic collection of homemade percussion artifacts, which he often shakes, rattles and rolls while simultaneously operating a drum kit, gives the studio and quick sage smudge to kick off extended opener "Triangle on Triangle." Glassmeyer joins in on a tenor saxophone he plays with a reedless mouthpiece of his own invention, which lends it euphonious trumpet hues. He also commands a modified Wurlitzer electric piano to deploy a variety of conversational melodies, from the seductive to the satanic, evoking electric Miles.

Fairs encourage drifting, and on tracks like "Queen Substance" and "Anemone" you can sense the threesome free-associating until everything suddenly snaps into focus—and then back out. Goldberger especially bides his time, lurking in the harmonic underbrush until striking like a digitally delayed mongoose. And while you can hear much more frantic free improvising on any given New York night, Martin, Glassmeyer and Goldberger deliver at least an implied groove, from second-line New Orleans parade beats to Brazilian forró, on nearly every track. "Tal Vez Distante" (Perhaps Distant), for example, evolves into a sensuous sort of tinkling clockwork windchimes shuffle. A million moments like this invite listeners into enigmatic zones suggesting festivities cosmic, junglelike and all the healing spaces in-between.

Joe Bonamassa and Gov’t Mule Swap Sit-Ins             

Last night, Joe Bonamassa and Gov't Mule kicked off a joint tour at Vienna, VA’s Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. Each act offered a full set and, as many hoped, they also opened up their stages to some cross-pollination. Gov't Mule played first and invited out Bonamassa for a memorable take on “Statesboro Blues,” the famed Blind Willie McTell tune that The Allman Brothers Band made their own decades ago, during their performance. Then, during Bonamassa's portion of the show, Gov’t Mule singer/guitarist Warren Haynes returned the favor, emerging for a cover Billy Cobham’s "Stratus."

Haynes and Bonamassa are longtime friends and have collaborated in a variety of settings over the years. The blues guitarist even recorded Haynes' “If Heartaches Were Nickels,” which was first released by Kenny Neal in 1994, on his 2000 debut LP, A New Day Yesterday.

Gov’t Mule and Bonamassa will appear at Bangor, ME’s Maine Savings Amphitheater tomorrow.
