more about this project

This album was produced by original guitarist of Sugarloaf, Bob Webber and Aaron Raymond, son of late Sugarloaf bassist Bob Raymond. This is the last known recording of the original Sugarloaf band, and the only Live Recording ever released by the band. 

After the discovery of the unknown tapes, Bob shared the idea of the production of a new album with Aaron and collaboration began. Over-the-top versions of "Green Eyed Lady" and "Don't Call Us" eclipse the studio recordings and reveal the brute, musical force of these four musicians - Jerry Corbetta, lead vocals and keyboard; Bob Webber, guitar; Bob Raymond, bass; and Myron Pollack, drums.

In addition to masterful soulful and nostalgic sound, the album boasts never-before-seen exclusive photos of the band from the archives of renowned photographer Dan Fong of Denver, CO. 

This is truly a "new" treasure of the past and the producers are very excited to see it come into fruition and to share it with music fans, collectors, nostalgia lovers and all who can appreciate excellent musicianship Sugarloaf had to offer.

Sugarloaf Live 1975 will officially be released on Sept. 8. 2022 - exactly 10 years after the band's induction into the Colorado Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The event will feature food, live music, and special appearances/performance by original members of Sugarloaf. Opportunity to purchase the album and other Sugarloaf merch.
