Chicago party-funk septet Sneezy squeezed into the cozy backyard confines of the Sugarshack for an intimate performance earlier this year. The full nine-song set is available now on the Sugarshack Sessions YouTube channel.
Over the past 11 years, the hallmark of the Sugarshack Sessions has been bands stripping down their live sounds and unwinding in Bonita Springs, FL.
