    New this year, the Cubs are excited to host The First Pitch Pregame presented by Budweiser before all five home games at Sloan Park March 12-19. Fans are invited to join us beginning three hours prior to first pitch for a special pregame celebration to enjoy fan-fare and live music. Check out the bands playing below*.

    March 14: Sugar Thieves

    The Sugar Thieves have honed their brand of American roots music, creating a sound that is all their own. Moving between blues, country, folk, rock and roll, and elements of jazz, freely, they honor the tradition that makes American music so great.
