GG Amos

Guitarist / Vocalist GG Amos is an artist in the West Coast Blues tradition. Based in San Francisco, she's honed her craft as a songwriter and entertainer utilizing the soul, jazz, funk and latin elements that make west coast blues what it is.

For the past 35 years GG's earned a reputation as a riveting performer with a distinctive, molten guitar style and an emotionally charged fluid voice...always emphasizing soulful communication with her audience.

In addition to her own songs and those of Johnny "Guitar" Watson, T-Bone Walker, Johnny Heartsman and others; r&b by Aretha Franklin and Gnarls Barkley; you’re just as likely to hear her pull out tasty soul jazz gems by Kenny Burrell, Horace Silver, and Jack McDuff.

GG’s recent single “Side By Side”, dedicated to all US Veterans, is a funky, swinging reworking of that classic 1920’s tune. Her own song, “West Coast” is a grooving tribute to the late bluesman Johnny Heartsman and the west coast style.

She is currently working on her own all-original album "Content Under Pressure".

GG has been nominated for both a West Coast Blues Award and a Sacramento Area Music Award.

She's performed at the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, Sacramento Arts Festival, Monterey Bay Blues Festival, Point Richmond Festival, Pleasant Hill Festival, Tracy Blues & Brews, Tahoe Music Festival ..numerous other festivals, fairs and nightclubs all over the Bay Area, the Southwest, the Midwest and even toured the whole country of Poland in 2011.
