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…
It was our first time this venue popped up on our event calendar. It was a Blues Saloon that was looking to expand their musical offerings beyond the blues, and they reached out to see if Sugar Buzz could be one of those bands. We were hesitant initially, but the venue was on the east…
This Minnesota cover band is pretty good about putting together an event schedule that is complementary to situations where we get the best draws for our venues. We attempt to schedule shows NOT in close proximity to our other events, or any other show that may pull the crowd away. We do this even knowing…
We found our rhythm again after band member Dale had to miss 2 shows due to some family time off. It felt good being a group again at one of our regular haunts, Mainstreet Bar & Grill in Hopkins. There’s always a crowd ready to dance, and although Halloween was the following Thursday, we donned…
