Over the past couple years Sugarcane has evolved into one of the best Bluegrass Rock bands on the West Coast and is showing no signs of slowing down. A mix of Country, Carribean, Blues and Bluegrass; the band can move both ass and mind. Sugarcane is led by the soulful, powerful, and charismatic voice and songs of Russel James. An Indiana grown songwriting prodigy who has relentlessly toured and played all over the United States for the last 17 years. "BigE", as he is lovingly referred as, also gives the band a Country Gentleman touch. On the drum set is the road-tested soul and expertise of Mr.Josh Biggs, a talented and song sensitive drummer who has played with the likes of the Neville Bros and Higher Ground to name a few. On the Bass is the uber-talented Stefan Andrews. Reminiscient of Rick Danko but with a bluegrass flair. Stefan has a great voice and is also a principal songwriter for the group. Next, on Mandolin, is Derek Hofbauer. A powerful individual and strong player whose personality gives the band a comedic and entertaining edge. Derek is truly one of a kind. Rounding out the band is Noah Bell on Lead Guitar. Hailing from Springfield, Missouri, Noah is by far one Portland's finest guitarists and continues to amaze audiences with his skill and technical prowess whether with the Slide, Acoustic, or one of his many Telecasters. To sum up, Sugarcane is a fine group of gentlemen and a damn good band. Come see and hear for yourself.
