That’s always been Ghalia Volt’s approach to American roots music. It’s a sound that reaches far beyond America itself. Ghalia grew up listening to the flamenco songs and traditional Spanish music that her grandparents loved. Her tastes expanded from there, making room for the fierce, guitar-driven sounds of punk, garage rock, and psychobilly. Digging into the roots of rock & roll, she discovered blues artists like Skip James and J.B Lenoir, setting the stage for an acclaimed songwriting career that would soon take her around the world — and up the Billboard Blues Chart. “Being true is always what resonates with me,” says Ghalia. “Often, bands make music for ...

No barriers. No boundaries. That’s always been Ghalia Volt’s approach to American roots music. It’s a sound that reaches far beyond America itself. Ghalia grew up listening to the flamenco songs and traditional Spanish music that her grandparents loved. Her tastes expanded from there, making room for the fierce, guitar-driven sounds of punk, garage rock, and psychobilly. Digging into the roots of rock & roll, she discovered blues artists like Skip James and J.B Lenoir, setting the stage for an acclaimed songwriting career that would soon take her around the world — and up the Billboard Blues Chart. “Being true is always what resonates with me,” says Ghalia. “Often, bands make music for the fans or to fit into a certain genre. I believe that if you make art for yourself — if it feels right, if you feel good doing it — then it will translate. People will appreciate it more because it’s real. It’s you.” Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ghalia Volt is a Belgian-born blues-rock singer, guitarist, drummer, and songwriter whose dynamic, gritty music blends roots, hill country blues, garage, and rock ‘n’ roll influences. After cutting her teeth as a street performer in Europe and immersing herself in American roots music, Volt has released five acclaimed albums — including Shout Sister Shout!, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart. Her highly anticipated new record, Burn the House Down, is set for release on May 15, 2026, showcasing her raw energy and expansive musical vision as she continues to define her place in modern blues and roots rock. Volt has toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe and has performed at major festivals including the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Mammoth Bluesapalooza, Telluride Blues and Bilbao Blues Festival, Blues Peer, etc. Whether performing solo or with a full band, she delivers high-energy, trance-driven sets that connect across generations and genres — blues & roots-based music that’s physical, loud, and built for the live stage.
