G. Love

Garrett “G. Love” Dutton is celebrating his 27th year as a touring and recording artist. Inspired by folk artist Bob Dylan and blues artist John Hammond Jr., as well as the hip-hop sounds of the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC, the Philadelphia native spearheaded a hip-hop-blues fusion of funky, musical storytelling, which inspired such artists as Jack Johnson and Slightly Stooped.

At just 14 years old, multi-instrumentalist Noah Gibney already has crafted a remarkable resume as a musician. He has opened for Christone "Kingfish" Ingram at the City Park Bandshell, jammed with such local jazz luminaries as Erich Cawalla, Bennie Sims and Cliff Starkey, and formed his own trio with longstanding local musicians Matt Cullen and Kris Kehr.

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."

Keb’ Mo’ and G. Love and the Juice will headline the Magic City Blues festival Aug. 5, 6 and 7 in downtown Billings. Other performers include Larkin Poe, Samantha Fish, Anthony Gomes and Mike Farris. Regional support artists will be playing both nights, including Kevin Burt, John Roberts Y Pan...

An interview with G. Love is featured on the latest episode of Eric Krasno Plus One, a podcast from JamBase partner Osiris Media. G. Love chats with host Eric Krasno about his influences, his reaction to his first Grammy nomination, mistakes he’s made over the course of his 30-year career and a variety of other topics.

Sacred steel specialist Robert Randolph was joined by G. Love, The String Cheese Incident‘s Michael Kang, The Motet bassist Garrett Sayers, Lettuce keyboardist Nigel Hall and The Nth Power drummer Nikki Glaspie for a socially distanced concert at Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, Colorado on Saturday night. An audience of approximately 50 people caught the show in person, while the concert was also livestreamed worldwide via FANS.
