JUGGERNAUT JUG BAND
Actually, it isn't only jazz, but
also blues, ragtime, swing, and original music combined in a
strange concoction called jug band music. Jug bands flourished in
towns along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers in the 1920's and
30's. Much as New Orleans spawned Dixieland Jazz, Louisville,
home of the Juggernaut Jug Band was the birthplace of jug music.
Today, as then, a jug band is the ultimate party band. While Mr. Fish, Roscoe, Skip and Smiley are accomplished musicians - "they don't let virtuosity get in the way of having fun."
- Washington Post.
Each performance is a challenge to the audience to have as much fun as the band. Don't let their antics fool you though, their exuberant music is the result of skillfully conceived arrangements, unusual instrumentation, and unique vocal harmonies.
