Once in a while, the stars align. As a Minnesota cover band, you sometimes get lesser than optimal attendance at an indoor venue during the summer- particularly when the weather is nice. Sugar Buzz had taken a much-needed 7+week break to vacation, learn material, up our equipment game. The show at Mainstreet Bar and Grill…
The Blues Saloon is new to our event calendar. It only hosts our type of music on Fridays and only from 6:00 to 9:30pm as there are DJ’s and other acts following. We are fairly certain we are the only type of variety Minneapolis cover band that they have on their schedule. When one looks…
Every venue has a special vibe and feel unto itself. When Route 47 Pub And Grub is on our event schedule, we know we are in for a treat. It boasts a sprawling stage and professional production that has often hosted national acts. That gives us that extra adrenaline when performing there as a Minnesota…
It sometimes happens, and you always roll with it. That’s the magic about being in a Minnesota cover band. We were back at a venue that we would play about 1x yearly and it’s always a different adventure each time. Once or twice there were snowstorms, or some other debacle. Nothing of the sort was…
Any show in the month of March can be a bit tricky for a Minnesota cover band. When these come up in our event schedule, it could be blizzard conditions, rain, sleet, anything really. This time was different . 74 degrees and sunny. Strange indeed, which made the night a hot one in the literal…
We always look forward to playing Bogart’s Entertainment Center when it comes up on our Minnesota cover band event schedule. It’s a spacious, classy room. It boasts a 3-tiered stage, fantastic new lighting and a staff and management team that know and appreciate live music. Sugar Buzz had a lot on the line with this…
It was a first for us: a super cold night in Hudson, Wisconsin. We typically try to stay away from distant shows in the winter, but the owner of the EMPOURIUM enticed us with a stellar appreciation of what bands need (and amplified both the stage and lights), so we decided to put it in…
This Minnesota cover band has played the Everett-McClay Bloomington VFW before. They have been expanding their music program to an impressive degree, and had lots of well-known bands grace their stage in the front bar area. But after a couple near fire code breaking attendances, it was suggested we try “the event center” in the…
Mainstreet Bar and Grill in Hopkins was up next on our event schedule, and we were excited to play in this cozy, yet expansive and well-known entertainment establishment. Every table and half the barstools were taken by the time we started. The dancefloor slowly came to life mid first set. After all, it was the…
It’s always a treat when Route 47 Pub & Grub comes up on the event calendar. It’s a huge stage. Paul and Beth are frequenters of their OPEN MIC jam on Thursdays, so it feels like a home away from home. We could tell by the first beat drop that it was going to be…
