Sugar + the Hi-Lows

You've just got to take a listen to these guys...I'm kicking myself that I missed them last week in Knoxville when they opened for Marc Broussard.  

The beauty is Sugar and the Hi-Lows sounds new and refreshing but has plenty of nostalgic pillars of vintage amps to make you feel warm and cozy. The sparseness of their sound gives the instruments and vocals room to move and breathe. Trent Dabbs and Amy Stroup already had their own singer/songwriter careers,but something different evolved out of a session together that became Sugar and the Hi-Lows.   
Go here to their website and get to know them.  Then...go here to buy or download their CD that released on February 14th.  You want something to get your leg shakin' and  put  a smile on your face, don't you?
