Delta & Country Blues

Formed in the Fall of 2016, the duo of James Paolello & Josh Gone have been steady rolling since. Self described as back porch blues, we draw on the influence of the great founders of Delta and Country blues, and perform a variety of original and arranged songs. Take upbeat, foot stomping grooves as a cornerstone, add in the Americana flare of rust belt living, grit and determination, and you'll find a style of blues that's respectful yet authentic to itself.
