Editor’s Note: I had the privilege to sit in and play sax with them for a set over at the Downtime Bar on the University of Minnesota campus last Saturday night and had a great time. Incredibly nice, down-to-earth guys who happen to hail from my hometown. It was refreshing to talk shop with them as well as the fellas from Goulash, Zacc from The Limns, and Peewee Dread who played an impromptu set. Hope to see T.U.G.G. head back to MN soon.
