The Chris Commerford Band Delivers Sweet Soul Music With “Sugar”

Cooler than cool soul-rock act The Chris Commerford Band hit all the right notes with their latest single “Sugar.” Capturing those heady days of early infatuation, this track is silky smooth, an absolute delight to listen to.

“The track always felt good when we played it live and even in rehearsals Sugar still had that great feeling, so after a lot of encouragement I knew I could trust what I felt deep down that we could make it into something special,” Chris Commerford said.

Special is right. It sounds effortless, but this track was actually four years in the making, with multiple demos, several mixes, and seemingly endless hours in production. The best part though is that it doesn’t sound like hard work. The final recording feels like a jam session, with every musician feeding off one another to create something so sublime. More like this please!

The Chris Commerford Band love playing live, so there are always plenty of opportunities to catch them. See them do their thing at the following shows:

26 June 2021 – TAR BARREL Brewery and Distillery, Mornington (7 pm)
27 June 2021 – Project Brewing Company, Rowville (2:30 pm)
8 August 2021 – Dainton Brewery, Carrum Downs (3 pm)

Get Down With The Chris Commerford Band

Mornington Peninsula outfit The Chris Commerford Band has me grooving this morning with their stellar new single “The Way You Treat Me Right.” There’s an awesome rock-funk vibe that takes its cues from Lenny Kravitz and Prince. You’re going to love those down and dirty vocals, the killer guitar riffs, and those big bold horns.

“This song is about the way infatuation isn’t actually always bliss but instead can drive you to the point of feeling lost in your own kind of crazy,” Chris Commerford explained.

“The Way You Treat Me Right” gives us a delicious taste of what we can expect when The Chris Commerford Band drops its debut album later this year. You can hear a little more at the band’s upcoming shows.
