SB + All Kinds of Sugar just returned from an amazing weekend in Vermont, filling themselves with quality, cheese, chocolate, sunshine, and local brews. The shows were a blast as Vermont regularly shows us how, and we even survived a hole-y air mattress event at our hotel. Check out this silly video [here] of SB + Chuck Fisher [lead guitarist] trying to repair the deflated mattress with gaffer tape in Montpelier, VT.

Vermont’s Arts and Entertainment newspaper, the ‘Seven Days’
[Vermont's Independent Voice] wrote the following about SB’s visit to town,
In an article titled, ‘First Lady of Song(writers)’
“Sarah Blacker is an old soul in a modern woman’s body… fans and music scribes up and down the Eastern seaboard swoon to her sultry, emotionally charged music. One crit even mused that Blacker is “the perfect blend of Ella Fitzgerald and Joni Mitchell.” …there are good reasons Blacker inspires fawning hyperbole.”

The Skinny Pancake, in Burlington, VT where SB + All Kinds of Sugar performed on Saturday, wrote this about the music.
“…who can channel Joni Mitchell’s worldly wisdom and boldness? Tonight’s act, Sarah Blacker, gets pretty close in those respects. A beautiful, full voice with Joni’s occasional clear staccato, Blacker’s songs are all her own folk-rock combination with a poise and playfulness akin to beloved folk ladies of the past. Don’t miss this talented up and comer tonight … at The Skinny!”

And finally, SB, manager Roni, and black lab, Beasley head out on tour again come September, 9th, where they’ll be kicking off their ‘Southern Plunge’ tour at TOAD in Cambridge, MA. They will be playing the late set for their ‘Southern-Tour Kickoff Party’ with slews of special guests and some surprises too! check the [shows page] for details as to where in
