glove Video Premiere: G.Love   Walk On (Exclusive)

G. Love (Brushfire Records)

 Audio: G. Love Performs Backstage At BonnarooPhotos: Backstage Performances…Don’t write G. Love & Special Sauce off as just another hippy-dippy band. G. plays hip hop based in Blues and R&B, and is known for his unique “sloppy” and “laid-back” sound, but he’s got depth. His latest single was a cover of Bob Dylan‘s “Fixin’ To Die.” (download it below) The Sauce formed in Philadelphia in 1992, but this band reaches backs into the depths of American music history, and they’re good, really good.

He was chillin’ with Mavis Staples backstage at Bonnaroo, but had some time to lay down these three songs from our backstage compound.Hear G. Love Perform Backstage At Bonnaroo

The Head and The Heart (photo: SubPop)

 Audio: The Head And The Heart Backstage At Bonnaroo  (With FREE Download)Photos: The Bonnaroo ExperienceOn Monday, Sub Pop sensations The Head And The Heart opened for Iron and Wine at Chicago’s Millennium Park. This weekend they were backstage at Bonnaroo with Marty Lennartz. Formed in 2009 the Pains play songs that speak to the newness of a fresh start.

If you’re not familiar, think a folksy Beatles or Crosby Stills Nash & Young with more instrumental force. Catchy piano melodies stand side by side with a tight trio of harmonies, and solid minimalist drums, groovin bass, and plenty of hand percussion and foot stomps make the live show inspiring and fun.Hear The Head And The Heart Backstage At Bonnaroo
