Sugar Ray
Biography
Sugar Ray is an American rock formation to have grabbed popularity in the second half of the nineties. The band was assembled in the suburb of LA in 1992. The core musicians of the new group were guitarist Rodney Sheppard, bassist Murphy Karges and drummer Stan Fraizer, who had been playing together as the heavy metal act Shrinky Dinx. After the right owners to the self-titled toy threatened to ignite a legal procedure against the musicians, they renamed their ensemble to Sugar Ray. The singer was found in quite a peculiar way. During one of the group’s performances, one of the spectators jumped onto the stage to sing along with the musicians. It was Mark McGarth who was later recruited as the front man after such an unordinary audition. Touring the home state of California, Sugar Ray were quite quick to gather a considerable following with one of the fans spending his own money on the shooting of their first video.
