There’s something special about a jug band!
It’s like comfort food, tunefulness, history and fun all rolled together into one entertaining, wholesome package.
The Ever-Lovin’ Jug Band is this and more, with their original tunes in the style of the jug bands of the 1920s, plus some old-time, ragtime, and music of other bygone eras as well.
The band features five fine performers that juggle duties between guitar, kazoo, banjolin, violin, washtub, washboard, banjitar, cello, banjo, tuba, fiddle, vocals, and jug, of course.
Their first album, Tri-City Stomp, released on CD, vinyl and via download, is a musical romp through tunes and ditties that will really get you’re your juices flowing.
They’re coming to Mariposa Folk Festival this summer. Check it out!
