We had taken an unusual amount of time off for this Minnesota cover band after a flurry of shows. Singer Beth was getting married, and some of the guys were attending to other projects and vacations. So, when we got back on stage – there was a lot on the line! Bassist Dale had some…
Sometimes it’s hard to get a foot in the door when you’re a band that books their own shows. Many places defer to agent – represented bands to fill their music programs. Over the years this Minnesota cover band has built a good reputation, so we’ve gathered some pretty impressive shows to date on our…
Festivals all come at once. It’s the busy season for this Minnesota cover band! Fortunately for this week, it was two local festivals on opposite sides of the metro. Chaska River City Days wasn’t new to us. It was our second year there, but first time we’ve played on the Friday. Don, Billie and crew…
It’s Moondance Jam, and it’s a special time of year for this Minnesota cover band. This is our 13th year performing at this annual festival. Although this was slimmed down to regional acts only, Sugar Buzz was honored to be chosen as one of those acts to perform. The weather is warm and sunny. The…
It was this Minnesota cover band’s first time playing the City of Burnsville’s “Party on the Plaza”. We weren’t sure what to expect, but were greeted by beautiful weather, a plethora of food trucks, and a well-thought-out seating and viewing area / stage area in a beautiful park. There were water-oriented areas to cool off…
Typically, when one is the highlighted act for a small-town festival that draws thousands, you expect to be sort of a one and done thing. You play one year maybe take a few years off and come back. Keep it fresh. However, we were fortunate enough to headline our third consecutive year at Nisswa Freedom…
Sometimes, a Minnesota cover band gets that once in a lifetime chance – opening for a touring national act. HAIRBALL is a Minnesota-grown national cover band complete with costume changes, 3 rotating singers, a massive drum riser and pyrotechnics. When we had the opportunity to open for them (brokered through the venue by a friend)…
Sometimes things happen where a band is thrown off their rhythm for a bit. This Minnesota cover band is no different. Beth caught a nasty virus that rendered her voice unusable and more devastatingly, our bassist’s beautiful wife passed away after a long battle with cancer. We had to cancel a show and really gather…
Bogart’s Entertainment Center has always been very good to this Minnesota cover band. The sound engineer, Dave, is a joy to work with and he often publicly states we are his “favorite band” to mix. Bogart’s is also a venue that promotes live music on social media, and we so appreciate the extra effort that…
As a Minnesota cover band: Roll with the Changes is not just a song we perform, it’s a way we are required to operate. We learn, experiment, adjust, sometimes on our own prompting, sometimes due to necessity. But, we always learn and grow. The Dog House in Maplewood is a fantastic venue : great stage…
