Raw Sugar has been delivering live rock across Greater Austin since 2011, earning its reputation the only way that matters — by showing up, playing hard, and keeping rooms moving from the first song to the last.

Built on years of live performance experience, Raw Sugar is a band that understands the room. Every set is driven by timeless rock classics and crowd-tested favorites — the songs people recognize instantly, sing along to, and want to hear played live. There’s no filler and no overthinking. When the groove calls for it, the band keeps it sweet. When the night needs energy, Raw Sugar turns it up and lets the moment lead the way.

The result is a tight, professional live sound paired with a setlist that’s flexible enough to match the crowd and the venue. From clubs and bars to private events and special bookings, Raw Sugar brings a polished performance while keeping the feel authentic and alive.
