Bringin' their "laid-back, sloppy blues" to the Spokane Knitting Factory, G. Love & Special Sauce will be arriving February 26. (And...if you couldn't tell by how much we gushed about them headlining performance for Mraz, WE LOVE THEM!) They've got a style and sound like nothing else...nothing I've seen or heard before.
Members Jeffrey Clemens, Jimmy Prescott, and G. Love, (actually born Garrett Dutton, shhh! Don't tell anyone!) have had quite a career. Based in Philly, the trio released their first album in 1994 and nearly achieved 'Gold-status' in sales. Here's where the trouble started; according to MSN's biography of the band, members started "bickering over finances", resulting in a temporary split.

Some yummy tidbits G. Love & Special Sauce:
They formed in 1992.
Their album Electric Mile, (released 2001), was described as a G. Love's "most schizophrenic yet." He used a blend of "hip-hop, funk, psychedelia, blues, and soul..."
G-Love is a longtime friend of part surfer - part acoustic artist Jack Johnson.
