Sugarpie & the Candymen began in 2008, when five musicians from Piacenza and Cremona – small towns in Northern Italy – decided to share their passion for swing, manouche jazz, blues, soul, pop, and vocal close harmonies.
A band was born, with the challenge to marry all these musical styles.
Very soon the band became a full-time commitment, starting an intense tour in hundreds of jazz clubs around Italy and Europe.
This first period allowed Sugarpie and the Candymen to work out both their sound and their repertoire: their musical caleidoscope has the most diverse artists one close to the other, such as Led Zeppelin and Django Reinhardt, The Beatles and Bessie Smith, Van Halen and Benny Goodman, Guns ‘n’ Roses and Ray Charles, Queen and Peggy Lee and so on.The challenge has been won!
In 2010 the band kept evolving and started writing and performing their original songs, both in Italian and English.They started playing the bigger stages of prestigious festivals all around Europe, and they even did a brief US tour.
