G. Love is unique. He brings blues to hip hop and also bring hip hop to blues. Born Garrett Dutton in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Love began playing guitar at age eight and wrote his first song while in the ninth grade. Eventually he placed a harmonica in a wire rack so he could blow blues melodies while playing his guitar. He could not escape his attraction to rap, however. By the time he started busking on Philadelphia streets, he had formulated a distinctive way to marry Americana roots to urban contemporary sounds. Tonight at City Winery NY, Love sang and rapped without the accompaniment of his usual band, Special Sauce. Instead, he played four acoustic guitars and numerous harmonicas, and was accompanied only by drummer Chuck Treece, a fellow Philadelphian who is a seasoned session musician (and professional skateboarder). Love dedicated their first set to roots music and the second to hip hop.In the 1990s, Love’s original widespread following was among the college crowd, and the reasons were obvious in his live set tonight. The show was not designed to be polished. It was not about finely crafted songs or reflective lyrics. The performance was meant to ignite a party. Love’s audience is 25 years older now and proved to be more inclined to sip wine at a table that to dance by their chairs, but Love’s enthusiasm and playfulness nevertheless sparked a celebratory spirit throughout the room. Love and Treece performed bare-bones versions of some of his better-known songs and some newer songs, but the evening was not about songs, it was about gathering and uniting his fans into a festive groove. While perhaps not as appealing to a blues or rap purist, Love and Treece had a sure handle on playing music for merriment.
One of Philadelphia's favorite musical sons will be making the trip west for the Lancaster Roots & Blues Festival. G. Love, alongside a special 8-piece band christened "The Juice," has been added to the festival's schedule for a 10 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 16 performance on the Freedom Hall Main Stage. G. Love is touring behind his new album, "The Juice," which recently received a Grammy nomination for "Best Contemporary Blues Album." The 2021 Lancaster Roots & Blues Festival, the first since 2019, is set to take place Oc… G. Love, whose real name is Garrett Dutton, formed "The Juice" - as opposed to the more familiar "Special Sauce" - for this performance. Dutton last appeared at the Lancaster County Convention Center for a slightly different reason - hosting and performing during a cooking demo for his "G. Love's Special Sauce" hot sauce during the 2017 Taste! Lancaster event.
Kimberly Paynter / WHYY On Sunday night, Sean Salm could see the stage at Voltage Lounge lighting up again, with guitarists, singers and even professional wrestlers performing in front of a live audience after months of silence. Not literally, of course. But for the live venue manager, President Donald Trump’s decision to sign the $900 billion second coronavirus stimulus bill was enough to make him dare to dream. The Voltage, like most other hospitality businesses, has been devastated by the occupancy restrictions brought by the pandemic. The 350-capacity venue near Center City hasn’t been able to pay rent since March, Salm said.
