G. Love & Special Sauce are a Philadelphia-based trio whose laid-back, sloppy blues sound is quite unique, as it encompasses the sound/production of classic R&B and recent rap artists. The group released their self-titled debut in 1994. It received enthusiastic reviews and nearly went gold on the strength of the MTV-spun video for “Cold Beverage.” The group toured heavily, also landing a subsequent spot on the H.O.R.D.E. tour and found a receptive young audience. They followed up this success with the more mature Coast to Coast Motel in 1995. On tour, the group nearly broke up due to bickering over finances. They decided to take a break from each other but soon made amends. Yeah, It’s That Easy was released in October 1997, and the band soon embarked on another world tour, returning in 1999 with Philadelphonic. Electric Mile was another solid release and was followed by extensive touring. Special Sauce did a series of shows in 2004 with Jack Johnson and fellow Brushfire artist Donavon Frankenreiter, and the trio also found time to issue a brief live EP before 2006’s Lemonade. The live album, A Year and a Night with G. Love and Special Sauce, appeared in 2007. The studio album Superhero Brother followed in 2008. More recently, they released Love Saves The Day in 2015. G. Love & Special Sauce continue to jam all over the globe. Great fun!
