Guitarist, harmonica player, singer and songwriter Chad Rupp is among the most select talents on the American blues rock scene. A musician who extracts a particularly eclectic flavor in which the aromas of an exquisite soul and the scourge of the most premeditated funk predominate. Based in Portland (OR), The Sugar Roots debuted in 2021 with their first album "Savage's Life" followed by "The Devil Won't Get You" in 2023, both making clear the intentions of these artists in the wake of genuine Portland blues. Chad Rupp is an honest musician with visceral music, artisanal rock'n'roll that induces all the sounds that emanate from American roots music, an artist without complexes who challenges honesty in a demanding circuit. "Gate C23" is an open window through which the freshest air of a musical genre with surpluses enters.
