American Roots & Blues
The Sugar Thieves bring American Roots music to life with a soulful, high-energy blend of Blues, Country, Folk, Gospel, Rock, and Jazz. Founded in 2006 and based in Phoenix, Arizona, the band pairs Meridith Moore’s powerful vocals with Mikel Lander’s gritty guitar work and a seasoned multi-instrumental lineup. Their performances combine original songs with reimagined American classics, creating a show that can move easily from intimate venues to festival stages. The Sugar Thieves have performed throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe, and have appeared on bills with artists including Taj Mahal, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Robert Cray, The Flaming Lips, and The Blues Brothers. Rooted firmly in the Blues while embracing the broader traditions of Americana, The Sugar Thieves deliver an energetic live experience filled with musicianship, personality, and soul.
