UFF-DA | Sam Licari & The Sweet Tease

About this event

UFF-DA Uff-Da — Gritty Blues-Rock with Midwestern Soul Uff-Da is a powerhouse four-piece blending gritty blues-rock energy with soulful, fuzz-drenched vibes — all rooted in unapologetic Midwestern spirit. Co-fronted by drummer/vocalist Sam McKinney and guitarist/vocalist Chris Marti, with Cody Bruggman on bass and Tim Booth on keys, Uff-Da delivers a sound that’s raw, electric, and impossible to ignore. Formed out of a shared love for sweaty live shows and authentic connection, Uff-Da has carved a loyal following across the Twin Cities music scene. Their debut self-titled album Uff-Da! is a two-year labor of love, self-produced in a DIY home studio built by the band. The result? A record that punches with raw emotion, catchy hooks, and the kind of musical chemistry you only get when every member pulls equal weight. From local venues to festival stages, Uff-Da brings a live show that’s equal parts gritty blues, powerful rock, and infectious jam sessions — keeping crowds dancing, shouting, and coming back for more. For Uff-Da, it’s not just about the music — it’s about creating momentsthat hit you in the chest and stick with you long after the last chord rings out.
