After nearly a decade since their last performance together, the original line-up of the blusey alt. hip-hop group, G. Love and Special Sauce celebrated the 20th anniversary of their self-titled first album and the recent release of their new album, Sugar with a free show at The Chapel in San Francisco.

The show, which was part of the Norton Boldly Go Concert Series presented by Pandora, was free if you RSVP-ed so it was no surprise that the line to get inside stretched down Mission Street.

The Chapel was packed soon after doors opened with attendees swarming the live screen printing to get their customizable G. Love posters and the bars were bombarded as fans took advantage of the full, open bar.
At 8:00, Garret Dunton a.k.a G. Love, up-right bassist Jim Prescott and drummer Jeffery Clemens humbly hit the stage under a rotating disco ball spitting reflections on the full house and the night gave way to their R&B beats with a country twang. G. Love and Special Sauce don't conform to one genre of music or another, rather they create a jamboree with a refined sound and the acoustics at The Chapel suited the band without a hitch. This mix of their "raw funk", vivacious vibe and graciousness effortlessly invites show-goers to let loose and just enjoy the music.

Their energy charged, hour long set, loosely followed their set-list and Dunton's banter included thanking Pandora, Norton, SF fans for being there and he also welcomed standup bassist, Jim Prescott back to the band.

The reunited G. Love and Special Sauce put on a heartfelt, wholesome fun show and they'll be back in town early next year to play at The Fillmore!
