Despite the changes in music trends, G. Love & Special Sauce have stayed true to their roots, celebrating three decades of music with the release of "G. Love & Special Sauce (30th Anniversary Expanded Edition)" and continuing to captivate audiences with their unique sound and heartfelt performances.
