Ghalia Volt with special guest Kent Burnside

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.”
