Our Minnesota cover band plays at all sorts of clubs around the Minneapolis metro area, as well as festivals in greater Minnesota. Many ingredients make the cake for us for a particular show: stage, lighting, sound, venue ambience, menu. It’s not solely the band and what they can produce. Bogart’s Entertainment Center was busy…

“Vietnam Vets Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club” is a group we’ve partnered with in the past. Their charitable cause they support is called Operation Zero. It’s a cause that puts together programs to help eliminate veteran suicides. When they asked us to partner again on Veteran’s Day, we jumped at the chance. Of course that meant…

Sugar Buzz has had the honor of playing US BANK Stadium Plaza prior to Minnesota Vikings football games in the past. We considered it a wonderful privilege, even if it was outdoors in December.

We actually had two festivals to perform in the area, and this Minnesota cover band was going to make the most of the beautiful weather and festival atmosphere. Mid Summer Music Fest was in…
DetailsNisswa Freedom Days had us back for a second year, and it’s a treat for any Minnesota Cover Band to play such a large street festival. Attendance was fantastic with revelers as far as we could see from the stage. First a parade, then singer Beth had the honor or performing the National Anthem just…

It’s a beautiful night in the summer. That always makes a Minnesota cover band nervous when they’re playing indoors. Will the fans come? Fortunately, yes. Although the first 20 minutes or so was lightly attended, the crowd picks up and we are grateful. Many musicians from local bands who have the night off are there:…
