Misty Blues performs extensively throughout New England and has toured the continental U.S., Canada and the UK. The band has been nominated for a few Independent Blues Music Awards, has released 17 albums with broad domestic and international airplay, and in 2024 had a song selected for use in a U.S. Presidential campaign ad.

Gina Coleman entered the music scene in the early ’90s as the lead singer of the folk/rock group Cole-Connection. In 1999 she played a gospel singer in the Williamstown Theatre Festival production of A Raisin in the Sun, a production that featured Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Viola Davis, Kimberly Elise and Gloria Foster. Near the end of the show's run, Ruben Santiago-Hudson gave Coleman a CD collection titled Men Are Like Streetcars and told her her voice was perfectly suited for the blues. She heeded his advice, and after a quarter of a century Misty Blues has stood the test of time.

Over the years Misty Blues has produced seventeen albums and was the subject of the Boston International Film Festival–selected documentary "Silver Lining."

Core members include:
- Gina Coleman
- Seth Fleischmann
- Rob Tatten
