Spencertown Academy, in association with the Capital Region Blues Network, presents Misty Blues
Misty Blues is a Berkshire County, Massachusetts-based band that plays original and traditional blues with hints of jazz, soul, funk, and tent revival gospel. Gina Coleman
is the leader, singer, and founder In addition to Coleman, the core band members are Bill Patriquin (bass, trumpet, vocals), Rob Tatten (drums, trumpet, trombone, vocals),
Aaron Dean (saxophone), Seth Fleischmann (guitar and vocals), and Diego Mongue (Coleman’s son, on drums, bass, guitar, pedal steel, and percussion).
Founded 25 years ago, Misty Blues performs extensively throughout New England and has toured the continental U.S., Canada, and the UK. They have also recorded with Eric Gales, Charles Neville, and Joe Louis Walker, and opened for contemporary blues artists like Tab Benoit, James Montgomery, John Primer, Roomful of Blues, Albert Cummings, and Michael Powers.
“Silver Lining,” the band’s 15th album, exemplifies their musical evolution as a contemporary blues band—and how the blues can play center stage amongst a cast of varied genre influences. “I am absolutely blown away by how fast 25 years has come and gone. It feels like it was yesterday when I asked Bill Patriquin if he wanted to be in a blues band with me,” says Coleman. “The evolution of the band has taken several turns over the past quarter of a century, but I couldn’t be happier with the direction and caliber of music we are producing today. ‘Silver Lining’ is categorically the best music we have created and I can’t wait to see what we do next!”
“This concert is the third of our ongoing ‘Women in Blues’ series,” said Richard Green, president of CRBN and member of the Academy Music Committee. “I have known Misty Blues bandleader Gina Coleman for about eight years and it’s been amazing to see her develop the band and come into her own as a performer over the past few years.”
