Events Description

 

BIG SUGAR’s 30th Anniversary “HEMI-VISION” tour: celebrating 3 decades of the album that introduced “Diggin’ A Hole”, “If I Had My Way” and “Gone for Good” to radio and Much Music fans across Canada. 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 camaraderie. Big Sugar’s throbbing bass lines, arena rock drums and signature guitar tones bring the songs on “Hemi-Vision” to life, reminding us how deeply satisfying a great rock show can be! Gordie Johnson’s power trio, featuring bassist Anders Drerup and drummer Root Valach, have forged their musical bond during the wildly successful 500POUNDS tour. Weaving blues and reggae through the wall of guitars and adding vocal harmonies that invoke Jamaica, Motown or an East Coast kitchen party, Big Sugar.

The 30th Anniversary Hemi-Vision Tour is a 2-set performance that sees the entire album performed live for the first time ever, followed by a second set of favourites and rarities from the extensive Big Sugar catalogue. Please share the evening of Roots Rock Reggae with Big Sugar.
