After 27 years of coast to coast touring, the global pandemic grounded the touring juggernaut we have come
to know as G. Love & Special Sauce. With band members sheltered in place and scattered across the country
and G. Love's ever-pressing need to release creative juices bore a collaborative and experimental musical
group.
G. Love & The Juice is that new mosaic, drawing from his signature hip hop blues he invited seasoned touring
musicians who shared in this vision to deliver a musical experience which includes classic G. Love songs,
improvisation jams and the low-down dirty blues which has been a hallmark of Garrett Dutton shows since
the 1990’s.
G. Love & The Juice is a collective of all-star musicians which will be hitting a city or town near you. The
current configuration has G. Love fronting the band with his legendary Harmonic, Guitar and Vocals. Jimi Jazz
Prescott on upright bass performing his patented electrified upright bass. Chuck Treece, Iconic Philadelphia
musician, professional skateboard and longtime collaborator on vocals and drums and Van Gordon Martin of
the Organically Good Trio, Big Daddy Kane and Dub Apocalypses on Lead Guitar.

Ron Artis II is a multi-instrumentalist who grew up in Hawaii among an exceptionally musical
family. The second oldest of 10 other siblings, Ron was surrounded by artists and musicians daily.
In fact, growing up, Ron thought it was weird that everybody else didn’t have ten siblings running
around with them every day. They even had an “Artis Family Band” and when they weren’t off
painting, at the beach, they were learning their instruments.

Full band, trio or solo, Ron has performed and collaborated with Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac),
Jack Johnson, Jake Shimabukuro, Booker T Jones, Eric Krasno (Soulive, Lettuce) and G Love among
others. If this wasn’t a rich line - up of names, go spend a few moments reading the lyrics to Ron’s
songs. Each song is laced with intention, deep conviction, story, and a heart that has truly been there.
It makes sense why Ron is often heard talking [and singing] about “walking the walk.” “I really try to
write music that can be helpful not only for our generation, but for life in general.”
Ron has been married to his beautiful wife Julia for 9 years and counting. They have 4 lovely [and
musically inclined] daughters, with a fifth on the way! If you’ve been to one of Ron’s shows, then you
may have had the immense pleasure of seeing a daughter or two take to the stage with her father. In
fact, being on the road is a family affair. Ron comments, “It's so easy to lose touch with life and lose
touch with the things that inspired you originally to write music and do things. I can walk off stage at
a festival with tons of people having a great time, and then I go backstage and change my daughter's
diaper! It keeps life really in perspective of what's important — I really enjoy this ... They really keep
me grounded and keep my heart full.”

With 4 studio albums, 60+ songs, 1000s of flights, 100,000s diapers, and 15 countries, Ron and his
family [full band included] continue to live by preparation and faith. Holding each day and person
they meet as with immense privilege, not to be taken for granted, they look forward to meeting and
delighting audiences around the world.
