Description
Springing from the oh-so-DIY transformation of household products into musical instruments-think comb kazoos, spoons, the washboard and of course the mighty jug-jug bands are a down-home, all-inclusive branch of the blues family tree. Originating in the late 19th century, the jug band tradition has undergone several revivals, including the current wave of popularity moving through the roots crowd. Presented by the California Jug Band Association, the Sixth Annual Jug Band Jamboree-featuring Meredith Axelrod, 5 Cent Coffee, the Club Zayante Jug Stompers and more-is shaping up to be a boot-scootin' good time.
