G. Love at the Blue Note

The Blue Note presents G. Love solo on Saturday, May 4, at 6:30 and 9 p.m. and Sunday, May 5, at 3 and 6:30 p.m. G. Love is bringing his unique blend of hip-hop, blues and rock to Blue Note for an unforgettable performance. Known for his laid-back vibes and hit songs like “Cold Beverage” and “Baby’s Got Sauce,” G. Love is a true original. Born Garrett Dutton in Philadelphia, G. Love grew up enthralled with folk, blues and rap, devouring everything from Lead Belly and Run D.M.C. to John Hammond and the Beastie Boys. After moving to Boston, he and his band, Special Sauce, broke out in 1994 with their gold-selling self-titled debut, which earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold vision and adventurous production. Over the next 25 years, G. Love released seven more similarly lauded studio albums. Blue Note, 1030 Main St., Napa, www.bluenotejazz.com/napa
