G. Love & Special Sauce (30th Anniversary Expanded Edition) will be available on all streaming, download and digital music partners Friday, January 12. “Cold Beverage - Live at the Knitting Factory, NYC, NY - 7/20/1994,” which is a previously unreleased live version of the classic album’s breakout track, has been newly remastered and is available today.
Formed by Philadelphia native Garrett “G. Love” Dutton (vocals/guitar/harmonica), Jeffrey “The Houseman” Clemens (drums) and James “Jimi Jazz” Prescott (bass), G. Love & Special Sauce stood out from the ‘90s alt-rock pack with a unique blend of roots rock, R&B, Delta blues and hip-hop - equally perfect for laid-back dorm room hangs or foot-stomping bar crawls. G. Love & Special Sauce earned a Gold record from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) off the strength of breakout radio/MTV staple “Cold Beverage,” an ode to iced delights of many origins, and follow-up “Baby’s Got Sauce,” hailed by Seattle’s KEXP-FM as the top song of 1994.
As a tribute to the trio’s enduring success as a concert act, this newly remastered and expanded edition of their debut boasts 11 live recordings recorded over two sweltering sets at the renowned Knitting Factory in New York City in July of 1994. These captured smoking performances, heard for the first time on this release, anticipates the formidable live draw G. Love & Special Sauce remain to this day, as countless attendees of the beloved mid-‘90s alt-rock H.O.R.D.E. tour (and beyond) can attest.
G. Love & Special Sauce will keep the brotherly love going in 2024 with a 41-date tour of North America kicking off in St. Louis, MO on January 11 and continuing through March 16. (On these dates, longtime collaborator Chuck Treece will be sitting in on drums.) Jackobs Castle will support all dates. For more information about dates and G. Love’s Pre-Show Pop-Off - an exclusive solo acoustic performance and merch package before the main show - go to https://www.philadelphonic.com/tourdates.
