Event Description
Icons of the Canadian airways and highways since the 90s, Big Sugar is back with ¡EARTHLINGS!, their first new record in 7 years! Gordie Johnson and Big Sugar are thrilled to present brand new songs in their signature Roots Rock Reggae style along with fan favorites like "Diggin A Hole" and "All Hell For A Basement".
Big Sugar was an iron man test of musical endurance set against a backdrop of personal turmoil and creative pressure in the 1990s. The cultural experiment of Detroit blues meets Detroit Rock City meets Kingston Ghetto recipe became a force that burned like a vacant inner-city house fire. The unlikely success of the Roots Rock Reggae crew in Hugo Boss suits during the height of “grunge” bought the creative freedom to drive on. And drive on they have. That musical spontaneous combustion continues within every live show. Powered now with passion, laughter and comradery.
Gordie Johnson’s power trio featuring bassist Anders Drerup and drummer Root Valach weave blues and reggae through a wall of guitars, adding vocal harmonies that invoke Jamaica, Motown or an East Coast kitchen party.
