Summer Concert Series: Ghost Town Blues Band
Recently headlining the blues stage at The Montreal Jazz Festival and appearing at The Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland, Beale Street’s latest success story, Tennessee Music Award Winner, 5-time Blues Blast Music Award Nominee and International Blues Challenge Runner-up is Ghost Town Blues Band. Not your grandpa’s blues band, their live show has been captivating audiences in the U.S., Canada and Europe with their “second-line horn entrance,” cigar box guitars and electric push brooms to Allman Brothers style jams.
The band’s stage show and energy is unparalleled and has been called the best new, live blues shows in the world.
Horns, harmonies and homegrown instruments combined with an energetic and roots rich festival set makes Ghost Town Blues Band one of the “must see live bands on the festival scene today.” Both Garrett Marshall behind the drums and Matt Karner on the bass guitar are a punishing rhythm section behind multi-instrumentalist/frontman Matt Isbell with raunchy cigar box guitar licks and raspy “Dr. John-like, whiskey and gravel-soaked vocals.” With the addition of Grayson Smith on B3, the grooves go from fresh to funky as the band gains more notoriety in the blues festival and Roots circuit. Ghost Town Blues Band has performed all across US, Europe and Canada at over 175+ festivals and will announce almost a half-dozen international tours in 2026.
GTBB’s new album Shine debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart.
For over 40 years, The Lake George Arts Project has been bringing regional and national acts to Lake George as part of our Summer Concert Series. All of the concerts in our series are free, so grab a chair, gather your friends and family, and come to Lake George for an evening of great music!
