G. Love & Special Sauce In 2017
The hip hop/blues band has spent 2016 playing a mix of headline dates and festival appearances, along with supporting the Blues Traveler / The Wallflowers co-bill, and playing a few nights with Jimmy Buffett. G. Love also squeezed in a solo tour of his own. The frontman’s last scheduled performance of the year is a Nov. 12 house concert with Charlie Mars at the Engel Residence in Austin. Presented by LiveVibe, the event is in support of rock ’n’ cancer foundation Love Hope Strength.
