Led by the incomparable Gina Coleman—a vocalist with fire, grit, and deep emotional range—Misty Blues delivers original music inspired by Koko Taylor, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, and the great American blues tradition. Gina’s story is as compelling as her voice: from a dare to sing in 1990 to performing at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, NYC’s Bitter End, and recording with Charles Neville and Joe Louis Walker, she brings decades of artistry, heart, and authenticity to the stage.
Misty Blues is fueled by an all-star lineup of multi-instrumentalists and musical shapeshifters:
Rob Tatten – drummer, trumpeter, trombonist, vocalist, and longtime music educator with a gift for rhythm and soul.
Aaron Dean – saxophonist and “bad mamma jamma,” a jazz-trained performer who lights up every stage he touches.
Seth Fleischmann – guitar slinger with chops ranging from metal to acoustic blues and everything in between.
Diego Mongue – Gina’s son, a rising phenom and multi-instrumentalist (bass, drums, guitar, pedal steel) whose bands have already reached the semifinals of the International Blues Challenge.
Michael Mongue – the band’s visual soul, creating all album artwork and adding a quiet creative force behind the scenes.
With a rotating “farm team” of top-tier musicians, the Misty Blues sound is always tight, soulful, and absolutely electric.
The band has earned two Independent Blues Award nominations, opened for giants like Tab Benoit, John Primer, Albert Cummings, and Michael Powers, and continues to push the genre forward with fresh writing, fearless energy, and their signature blend of blues, gospel, jazz, and funk.
