Philadelphia-based blues and hip-hop trio G. Love and Special Sauce is coming to the Town Ballroom on Wednesday (Jan. 23). Founded in 1992, G. Love is known for a unique, laid back and self-proclaimed “sloppy” style, with signature blues-infected hip-hop stylings. G. Love’s self-titled debut album nearly went gold, due to video rotation of the single “[I Like] Cold Beverages” on MTV, and in 1995 the group released a second album, the more mature Coast to Coast Motel. The music has incorporated many genres over the fifteen year the band has been together. Anything from their usual (but unusual) hip-hop blues to funk, soul and even psychedelia has been heard in the nine albums they’ve released. Their latest, The Hustle (Umvd) is on sale now—carol christman
