Welcome to Big Sugar's World
My Musical Roots
I grew up with a house filled with art, music, and love and was exposed to a variety of musical genres - from standards, musicals, early rock and R&B. I took a handful of music lessons during first grade and realized formal structure wasn't for me as every 6 year old discovers. I have remained active ever since. In the 80s I played with rock bands, fronting in some, playing lead guitar in others. The late 80s and 90s saw me in 50s-60s tribute acts and playing with some of the best in the business (I'm not a name-dropper, but trust me - the big ones). After taking a pause and focusing on my family, I am coming back to bring entertainment and fun to the music scene. I draw inspiration from a wide range of artists, from Neil Diamond and Garth Brooks to the Foo Fighters and the Rolling Stones and everything in between.
My Creative Process
My music is a reflection of my life experiences and emotions. I am very much a product of the city I grew up in - Baltimore, and let this water town guide me when it comes to songwriting. I believe that the best music comes from the heart. You hear that in my music like "Flat Busted And Beachbound" or "Feeling Real Good". I don't use backing tracks, loopers, or pre-recorded instrumentals in my performances. Not because I'm a technology prude, but because I focus on giving you a live, authentic, performance, unique to only that experience.
My Live Performances
I love performing live and thrive on the energy of the audience. I have played in various venues, from small coffee shops to large concert halls. My live performances are always filled with passion and energy. Don't believe me? Just talk to a Sugarita, my army of loyal followers who appear at every performance.
