G. Love certainly has come a long way in the 20 years since drummer Jeffrey “The Houseman” Clemens discovered him performing in a Boston pub. The two started playing together and, after Clemens brought in upright bassist James “Jimi Jazz” Prescott, G. Love & Special Sauce was born. Their self-titled debut, featuring the hit “Cold Beverage,” wound up going Gold. The band became known for their live shows and performed around the world. G. Love has played with and without Special Sauce over the years, but now the trio is back together and it feels right. G. Love believes the current manifestation of the band is stronger than ever and is riding a creative high, adding “and we didn’t want to kill each other.”
