g love + sauce 04/12/04

G Love - the Lovemeister.

Slow grooves and hip hop blues. Over the last decade G Love has evolved from a Philadephia local boy, to the catalyst for the folky surf sound groove now storming a radio near you.

A Star in his own right, G Love also released Jack Johnson's Rodeo Clowns in 98 - the two having met after Jack used some of G Love's music in one of his surf films.

Heres a brief bio from VH1
G. Love & Special Sauce are a trio from Philadelphia, PA. Their laid-back, sloppy blues sound is quite unique, as it encompasses the sound/production of classic R&B and recent rap artists (the Beastie Boys, in particular). The group -- G. Love (born Garrett Dutton) on guitar/vocals/harmonica, Jeff Clemens on drums, and Jim Prescott on upright bass -- released their self-titled debut in 1994 on Okeh/Epic.

I've had the pleasure of seeing of seeing G Love several times over the years - and have always appreciated their open taping policy - soundboard feeds at nearly every show!

This is my favorite G Love show - and is where he and Tristan Prettyman debuted "Beautiful Beautiful". Unfortunately, due to the way Tristan was mic'd you can barely hear her parts. If anyone has a Soundboard copy of this song where you can hear her, please send me an email!
