It’s a tradition in Brainerd, MN. Every year at Shep’s on 6th, there is a weekend devoted to the selection of the next GRAND ELBOW at the ELBOW CONVENTION. The weekend is filled with music, and Sugar Buzz was chosen to headline the last night of festivities. It’s tricky with outdoor shows, as the weather…

It was the first time this Minnesota cover band played at the Wayzata Depot as a part of the Wayzata Rotary Club summer event schedule. The air over the lake was still hazy from Canadian wildfire smoke, but there was a nice breeze and temps were in the upper 70s, so many brought their lawnchairs…

When you’re a Minnesota cover band, you tend to make your summertime gigs outdoors. The vibe is great – the people are happy, the days are longer. With that comes risk: The weather.

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.

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…
