About Us

Our Journey

Whiskey and Sugar didn’t exist until September 2023, when a mutual friend had the brilliant idea to introduce Matt Stone and Jess Frank. Now, after more than 70 shows, it’s obvious that the introduction was the start of something special. Together, they deliver a musical chemistry that kicks. Matt’s soulful guitar and vocals meet Jess’s versatile range—from warm harmonies to bold, soulful belts—while they both engage the crowd and get everyone singing along.

Our Musical Style

Think classic rock, Americana, 90s alt-rock, guilty-pleasure pop, and even those singalongs everyone secretly loves. And if you’re into reimagined acoustic versions of current hits, they’ve got you covered too. Whether it’s the cozy hum of a neighborhood bar or the roar of a festival crowd, Whiskey and Sugar delivers energy and passion as memorable as that first sip of a perfectly crafted cocktail.
