Sugar Cancels Summer Shows

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, Sugar and the Hi-Lows will continue to take a break from touring for the safety of everyone. Your support is still so vital. If you would like to still support Amy & Trent here are a couple of ways:

1. Stream their music and share on social media & tag.

2. Buy vinyl and other merch here.

3. Dance to Sugar on Instagram / Tik Tok and post! :)

Thanks for understanding and we hope everyone stays healthy and safe until the tour roads open back up.

Shangri La - New Studio Album - Out Today

Sugar & The Hi-Lows is releasing their fourth album, Shangri La on May 1st 2020. While their sound obviously plays ode to the music from different eras, this seven track project follows through with both the flirty, fun highs and equally poetic lows as Sugar & The Hi-Lows does best. Shangri La perfectly fixes a little bit of Amy’s Texas with a little bit of Trent’s Mississippi as they are no stranger to drawing from their roots over the current trends.  From the playful nods in “Dip Dow” and “High Stepper” to the longing ballad of “Happiness” each song is just as irresistible as its predecessor. The familiar nostalgia and charm found in their debut is featured prominently in this project and their dynamic chemistry is undeniable more than ever.  The project was recorded over a week at the legendary Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN with the band being made of up Amy Stroup, Trent Dabbs, Kyle Ryan, Adam Keafer and Jared Kneale, engineered by Gena Johnson. Later the band finished the record with long time trusted producer Jeremy Bose and strings with Eleanor Denig.  Check out the new album out now everywhere.

Title:Happiness

Written on 1.8.18 by Trent and Amy



You know my thoughts are like a bottle 

Broken, overflowing 

Waiting in the balance

Hoping I can manage to give more love to you 

But I can’t keep up with your love 



CHORUS:

So Hold me close

Take me where your dreaming (ah ah ah) 

Lift me up like a prayer through the ceiling 

That river inbetween forever and for now. (ah ah ah)

And happiness has no sound 



Verse: 

Hush the over thinking

I knowing what your needing

No judgement, just me and you

Deeper than the coast line

Feels it as it flies by yea yea 

All I know is I really want you

‘Happiness is the space in-between words and all the plans we make. It’s about when you don’t need words to fill a space or plans to make someone interesting ‘ - Says Amy Stroup member of Sugar + The Hi-Lows. The band recorded the song at Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN.

In the Studio

Sugar + The Hi-Lows is currently writing and recording, creating their 3 studio album. Check out some photos from the studio below and be sure to check back for release date information of Shangri-La. What is Shangri-La? I’m glad you asked.

“Shangri-La “ A mystical, harmonious valley synonymous with earthly paradise. Utopia. A permanently happy land, isolated from the world. A pkace of sweet refuge. A stylistic nod to the exoticism of the Orient met with rock ‘n roll flair. - Amy
