Chad Rupp and the Sugar Roots will be releasing their second album on lightning in a bottle records on 7/1/23. This coincides with the Lightning In A Bottle records revue at the ‘23 Portland, OR Waterfront Blues Festival. In addition to being available on all streaming services beginning 7/1, physical copies will be available for purchase at the Waterfront Blues Festival in the Music Millenium tent, at the original Music Millenium location, or online at the LIAB records store beginning on that same date.
The album, entitled “The Devil Won’t Get You”, contains 11 new original songs and an impressive list of performers including Brady T Goss, Timmer Blakely, Louis Pain, Peter Dammann, Lloyd Jones, Jimi Bott, Johnny Wheels, Scott Franklin, Joe-Mack McCarthy, Valyria Arnold, with a special appearance by Andrew Matthews and TJ Wong. Several of the songs were inspired by both Portland's rich blues history and Chad’s recent tour experiences in Memphis, bringing the album a feeling of relatable authenticity for any blues lover.
In honor of current activities in commemoration of the memory of Portlands historic venue “The Candle Light Room”, Chad will be releasing a single by the same name for free distribution today. The song pays tribute to the fallen Portland venue and the musicians that made it legendary. You can listen or download here.
