Friday, February 5, 2010 - Juggernaut Jug Band ($15)
You haven't heard "Pinball Wizard" or "People Are Strange" until you've heard it played on jugs and "various other sundries."
Jug band music is blues, ragtime, swing and jazz combined in a strange concoction spawned in Louisville, home of the Juggernaut Jug Band. Jug bands flourished in towns along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in the 1920s and 1930s.
Today, as then, a jug band is the ultimate party band. The Juggernauts have been featured on the Today Show and radio's "Dr. Demento Show." Their current CD is You Mean We Get Paid For This?
Juggernaut Jug Band Members:
Roscoe Goose - Washboard, Trumpet, Cans, Blues Harp, and Snare. Also plays First Jug. (Usually gets slapped before getting chance to play Second Jug.)
The Amazing Mr. Fish - Walking Bass, Running Nose Flute and Washtub Bass. (Actually not a fish and according to female acquaintances, anything but amazing.)
Skip Tracer - Newest and youngest member of the group. Known far and wide as the "Hillbilly Playboy" from Hannibal, MO., on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals.
Smiley Habanero - Hot guitarist from south of the border. And if you think his guitar playing is hot, just wait!
