Here is what transpired. G Love and Special Sauce will perform tonight at Liberty Hall. Tickets are $20. See the full interview on www.kansan.com. It's hard to kind of pigeon hole your music into a genre. If you had to explain to someone what your music is like, what would you tell them? O: A: Hip-hop blues. Q: What are your biggest inspirations and influences musically? WITH G LOVE OF G LOVE AND SPECIAL SAUCE A A: Kind of a lot of Delta blues like Robert Johnson, John Hammond, Mississippi John Hurt and Mississippi Fred McDowell and that list can go on. And then a lot of ▶ hip-hop. I like Eric B. & Rakim, KRS-One, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. I like a lot of stuff like that. Q: What are you listening to right now? What is in your CD player or on your MP3 right now? A: Right now I'm listening to the rough mixes from my recording sessions, just kind of going over them with a fine toothed comb and making sure which songs I like the best and if anything needs to be changed. I'm just listening to that right now and kind of working. O: I don't know if you remember your show here last year at UnionFest, but it was just ridiculously muddy and people were slopping around in the mud, painting themselves in mud and generally just getting in a groove with your music. What do you think the average G Love crowd is like? A: Super cool, funky and awesome [laughs]. Just Twenty-First Annual James E. Seaver Lecture ON CONTINUING ISSUES IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION CSA- Confederate States of America and the Quest for Equality and Democracy Associate Professor Department of Theatre & Film University of Kansas KEVIN WILLMOTT good people, we have a great crowd. February 7,2008 8:00 p.m. Alderson Auditorium, Kansas Union Sponsored by the KU Humanities and Western Civilization Program Q: What has brought you back to Lawrence for the second year in a row? O: A: We've always had a great vibe in Lawrence. It's a town that we were in, tripping on acid and opening A. up for Blues Traveler 15 years ago. That was one of those weird, crazy nights in our career. Lawrence is pretty spooky with Stull nearby and there is always a weird vibe in Lawrence. Especially back in the day, we used to have these crazy vibes going in Lawrence but crazy good. It's just always been a town that we fit and toured through pretty consistently. I think we were playing Lawrence for five years before we actually played Kansas City proper. A: I see us going down the same road were going up now. Hopefully our thing will be growing exponentially, which it seems to be doing at a slow rate. I see myself making records and touring and doing the same thing. Hopefully just continuing to do it better and better and writing great songs and continuing to strive for the elusive musical perfection.
