Our story
Cream and Sugar coming to life
Known for a versatile sound and a wide range of music, Cream and Sugar was born in January 1990 at the Waldorf Hotel in Drumheller, Alberta.
During a weekend gig, the band members were gathered in the hotel restaurant, enjoying their time together and excitedly waiting for the hour when they would take the stage. A waitress asked for the band’s name just as founder and owner Joy Velasco was tending to his coffee
Joy asked for cream and sugar. The waitress misunderstood—and thought that was the name of the band. The group had a good chuckle, then realized it was a perfect fit. At that moment, Cream and Sugar came to life.
Since then, the band has kept dance floors moving in and around Calgary, with travels to the Northwest Territories and British Columbia. As the original lineup followed new paths, Joy carried the name forward and continued pursuing his love of live music.
Today, Cream and Sugar can perform as a solo act, duo, trio, or full four-to-five-piece band, depending on the occasion. The current lineup and trusted team members and fill-in musicians come together to bring audiences the music they love.
For every occasion
We play. You enjoy.
