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…
Route 47 has become like a “home of the north metro” for Sugar Buzz. Beth and Paul are frequenters of their weekly open mic series and have befriended many open mic attendees for years now. So, when we saw the social media “going” numbers, we knew it would be a big show. What we didn’t…
The confluence of events was amazing: It was our first St. Paddy’s playing Mainstreet Bar & Grill- a venue we’ve always loved and are always able to draw a great crowd here. Singer Beth and bassist Dale were coming off another show the night before in a different band. Lead guitarist Henry had broken his…
It’s hard to remember when it was… March 31, 2023? It was a show at Shakopee Bowl that we nearly canceled the day of, as there was a big storm looming. Sometimes the forecasters are wrong, but not this time. That was the show where we barely made it home. People came out, but left…
There’s a synergy between the location, and your history with the locals that creates the mood for the night. This Minnesota cover band could easily tell by 30 minutes to showtime it was going to be very busy. People were in great spirits, there was an extra bar set up in the corner as we…
