About G. Love & Special Sauce

The
enigmatically
smooth
Garrett
"G.
Love"
Dutton
is
one
of
Philadelphia's
funkiest
performers
of
laid
back,
alternative
hip-­?hop
blues
(a
genre
he
helped
define).
As
an
insatiable
musical
omnivore,
G.
Love
somehow
manages
to
synthesize
his
iconic
influences
by
shedding
their
layers
to
find
that
harmonic
convergence
where
song
and
listener
bare
their
souls
to
each
other
speaking
nothing
but
the
raw-­?boned
truth.
G.
Love
mines
the
sonic
ore
of
his
heroes
only
to
emerge
with
a
fresh
lode
of
precious
stones.
He
explains
his
sounds
as,
"a
nod
back
and
a
step
forward.
I
return
to
the
roots
of
blues
and
folk
to
make
my
music.
Its
what
first
moved
me.
I
fell
in
love
with
it
and
learned
music
as
a
teenager,
which
is
such
a
developmentally
pivotal
point
in
ones
life.
That
point
when
you
decide
you
wanna
play
guitar,
right?
I
was
16
when
I
discovered
folk
music,
the
blues,
and
Bob
Dylan
and
that
was
simply
the
backbone
for
everything
that
followed
for
me
musically.
I
mean,
this
is
my
second
decade
as
a
recording
and
touring
musician
and
at
heart
I've
always
been
a
roots
musician.
I
want
to
carry
on
the
tradition
not
in
a
nostalgic
way,
but
by
keeping
it
fresh,
real
and
unexpected"
