Michael Sugar is an extraordinary and unpredictable musician hailing from New Orleans, now residing in the Bay Area. After formal study of basses, guitars, classical, jazz and popular music, composition and music technology from U.C.S.D., Mike took to the road with Jambay, the band he cofounded in the late 80s. He spent the next years cutting his teeth to a fine edge playing venues all over the states and releasing 3 original CDs, and giving rise to numerous bootleg tapes still circulating today. Since Jambay split up in the later 1990s Mike has lent his varied musical talents to many local and touring bands, most notably, Kingfish, Melvin Seals, and most recently, The Goldbrickers and The Sunshine Brothers. All the while participating in projects of all the members of the defunct Jambay: Matt Butler's Redwood Project, Chris Haugen's Seahorse Rodeo, Shelley Doty's X-tet, The Everyone Orchestra, Perps, etc. Currently Mike is producing albums, writing songs for his own band The Soda Pop Addicts and looking forward to performing with good friends and fine musicians throughout 2010.
