Sugar Britches is a blend of mischievous high-brow honky-tonk with eclectic instrumental accompaniment and clever lyrics, written by Brian Johanson and performed by a cavalcade of characters. Combining good ‘ol country heartache along with snarky folksy wit, Sugar Britches has been playing non-stop throughout Colorado and the great West in bars, parking lots, weddings, bat mitzvahs, rodeos, amphitheaters and regular-ass theaters since 2017.
Sugar Britches have received critical acclaim and plain old criticism, from music lovers and mothers. They have won hearts and minds and driven audiences wild with their sex appeal, fanciful stylings and wit. They have opened up for many national touring artists, including Reckless Kelly, Wynonna Judd & the Big Noise, Hannah Dasher, Jaime Wyatt, Big Richard, Midland, Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters, Pokey LaFarge, Corb Lund, The Reverend Horton Heat and Jason Eady.
The band released their first album, Don’t Make Her a Mixtape Yet You Idiot, in 2019, their second album, No One Cares That It’s Your Birthday in September of 2022, and they are working on new songs and artistic endeavors all the time.
The Band features Brian Johanson on lead vocals and guitar, Lance Ruby on lead electric guitar, AJ Knight on drums, Cameron Collums on upright bass and a rotating cast of amazing guest musicians. Keep your eyes peeled for all of our special guests and show iterations.
