  • Brad Cole – Songwriter & Musician
    Brad Cole – Songwriter & Musician Brad Cole is an American singer, songwriter and musician. He plays guitar and percussion and is largely self-taught. Cole has devoted the bulk of his musical career to folk, country, Americana, and pop/rock. His songwriting is borne from the heart and focuses on relationships, struggles, experiences, and coming into one’s own. For over 20 years, Brad has been a fixture on the Chicago music scene sharing the stage with such greats as Uncle Tupelo, The Smashing Pumpkins, Material Issue, Nicholas Tremulis, and blues great Joanna Connor. Cole led several Chicago- based bands including Treatment, Psycholove, The Second Story, and toured with NYC-based The Subscribers. In recent years (since 2011), Brad has been touring nationwide with his own band and as a solo performer, playing to sellout Brad Cole audiences in New York, Chicago and Nashville, sharing the stage with other great folk and Americana artists such as Shovels & Rope, Dan Navarro, Chris Stapleton and Amy Speace.

Bandet, som består av Myles Kennedy (sång/gitarr), Mark Tremonti (gitarr/sång), Brian Marshall (bas) och Scott Phillips (trummor), har inspirerats av alla tidigare släpp - men med ambitionen att skapa något helt nytt.

Förutom nytt material så lär vi få höra klassiker som "Metalingus", "Addicted to Pain", "Watch Over You" och "Blackbird" på Hovet.

We showcased some amazing Bay Area talent such as Alabama Mike, Aki Kumar, Kyle Rowland, Al Von, HowellDevine, Neicey LivingSingle, Michael Skinner, Sam-One, and on June 24th we will sponsor Steve Freund & Jan Fanucchi. These performances will remain on our YouTube channel - available to the artists, fans, and promoters. We hope that you will subscribe to our new channel and enjoy these shows. I recently created a tagline for TGGBS: “Your Gateway to Bay Area Blues.” This has a multitude of meanings. TGGBS is a source and pathway to many significant experiences with blues music for musicians and fans alike. We want to thank each and every one of you for your vital donations and sponsorships.

  • Brittany Howard Coverage in Blues Festival Guide March 12, 2021
    Women's History Month , Blues Festival Guide Friday March 12, 2021 Blues Women Rock Grammys & Billboard By Lynn Orman Weiss For the first time ever, all of the nominees for the 63rd GRAMMY Awards Best Rock Performance category are women and woman-fronted bands including Brittany Howard who is nominated for four Grammys and will perform live on the major broadcast. Nominations for Best Contemporary Blues Album include Ruthie Foster Big Band (Live at the Paramount) and Bettye LaVette (Blackbirds). Brittany, who made a name for herself as Alabama Shakes frontwoman, has been nominated for 16 Grammy nominations and won four. This year she’s also nominated Best Rock Song ("Stay High"), Best Alternative Music Album, (Jaime) and Best R&B Performance ("Goat Head"). Brittany shreds a Gibson SG. Chicago's renowned Queen of Blues Rock Guitar, Joanna (Jo) Connor is #1 on Billboard Blues Chart this week. Joanna's 4801 South Indiana Avenue also made #15 Top New Artist Albums, #34 Current Rock Albums and #35 on the Indie Albums Chart. The album title holds a lot of weight in Chicago and for blues lovers around the world who loved this sacred space, Theresa's Lounge, which was located at that address. It's where the greatest blues masters like Muddy Waters, Son Seals, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, and Big Walter Horton performed and jammed. Joanna's freshly minted album, produced by Joe Bonamassa and co-produced by Josh Smith, is an homage. “We want the listener to open that door, walk in and feel to their core some of the magic that a place like that brought night after night,” says Joanna.
