It’s always fun for this Minnesota cover band to play Mainstreet Bar & Grill in Hopkins, and a venue that appears on our schedule more often than most. Great atmosphere, a mix of all ages of people – most of them ready to dance. We had a few on the dancefloor early. Tables were filling up and by set 2 the mob ruled the dancefloor.
We captured video of the crowd sing-screaming along with Blink – 182’s All the Small Things “say it ain’t so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home” echoed in chorus throughout the bar. Bandmates kept saying to each other “wow, this is such a fun night!” It was cold out, but the mood was light.
People interacted with performers as Henry, Dale and Mark prowled the crowd with mics and instruments. Sugar Buzz prides itself as an inclusive and immersive experience. You feel you’re part of the action – part of the show. The energy is high, and we feel we are able to convey how much fun we have as a band when we perform. The comments are always about the musicianship, sure, but we so often hear about the ENERGY and the FUN we bring. We felt the crowd with us that night. As a cover band, you have to bring your “special sauce” and we believe that immersive/ inclusive experience is ours. Cheers to the patrons of Mainstreet for bringing the energy back to us!
