G. Love & Special Sauce live in Allentown

Experience G. Love & Special Sauce live on August 16th

G. Love & Special Sauce will perform at the Arrow in Allentown, Pennsylvania on August 16, 2026. The band is known for their blend of blues, hip hop, jazz, and rock, often described as “hip-hopera” or “blues-infused alternative.” Formed in Philadelphia in the early 1990s, G. Love & Special Sauce gained prominence with their unique sound and energetic live performances, achieving commercial success with albums like *Fat Love* and *Coastline*. Their music frequently features harmonica and a laid-back, groove-oriented style.

The Arrow, located in downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania, originally opened as a movie theater in 1928 as The Boyd Theatre. It operated successfully for several decades showcasing films before falling into disuse. Following extensive renovations completed in 2023, it reopened as a multi-purpose entertainment venue. The restored space maintains many of its original Art Deco architectural features while incorporating modern sound and lighting systems to accommodate concerts and other events. The venue has a capacity of approximately 1,200 standing or 650 seated attendees and aims to revitalize the city’s arts and culture scene.
