The Busted Jug Band’s performances highlight tunes of the classic Black jug and string bands of Memphis and Mississippi, and the small swing bands and vocal groups of New Orleans and the urban North.
The Busted Jug Band's performances are a festive fun(ny) musical romp through the oldie times, playing swing, country blues, ragtime, early jazz standards, hillbilly and novelty music, on an assortment of instruments, that include everything from washboard to mandolin to rubber chickens. Their repertoire harkens back to the 20's and 30's of the last century, all delivered with the band's contagious high energy. In the course of their ear and eye catching presentation, the capper is their ability to also keep their derbies and top hats on throughout.
The popular 5-member Boston-based band's performances offer a potpourri of styles that when congealed on stage constitute a rewarding presentation of what is oftentimes referred to as "poor man's jazz." This show will be a live in-person socially-distanced limited-seating performance, in an elegant historic venue which has recently had its HVAC system updated. Thus, audience in attendance can be rest-assured. Visit thebustedjugband.com and facebook.com/thebustedjugband to further explore The Busted Jug Band's world.
