Sugar Ray Net Worth

In 2012, McGrath worked with Art Alexakis, frontman and vocalist of the band Everclear, on starting up a 1990s nostalgia tour, something they had discussed in the past but had always felt was too soon to be successful. The result was the "Summerland" tour, featuring a line-up of alternative rock bands that "at least had a big hit or two" in the 1990s, containing McGrath and Alexakis's own bands along with Marcy Playground, Gin Blossoms, and Lit. The tour was deemed a success, and McGrath initially spoke of the possibility of it becoming a yearly event. Over the course of the tour, McGrath stated that he had been spending downtime writing new material, although he was not sure at that point if it would be Sugar Ray material, or "Mark McGrath solo" material. By the end of the year, McGrath confirmed the band would start recording new material for an EP in January 2013, aiming for a May release or before the band's summer touring in 2013. However, percussionist Al Keith left the band while they were preparing to record new material, delaying the recording sessions, and leaving Sugar Ray as a four-piece band.
