Band founder and lead singer, Gina Coleman, entered the music scene in the early 90’s as the lead singer of the folk/rock group Cole-Connection. It wasn’t until 1999 when she played a gospel singer in the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin In The Sun that she was steered down the path of blues. The lead actor in the production, Rubin Santiago-Hudson, told Coleman that he felt her… voice was well suited to sing classic blues. Coleman knew a musical shift was imminent. Guitarist Jason Webster and bassist Bill Patriquin were on board and thus began Misty Blues Band.
