About the Artist

We are America’s Most Adequate Jug Band!™ How adequate are we? Really, really adequate. In fact, we sound like the Memphis Jug Band would have sounded if they were white. We play classic jug band music, blues and pop music from the 1920s and '30s as well as hits made popular during the 1960s jug band revival by musicians like the Grateful Dead, John Sebastian, and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. And then there are the hokum tunes from early 1900s where sly lyrics and euphemistic references earn G-ratings even though the songs tend to be about sex, booze and controlled substances. Got the Salty Dog Blues? Need some southern eel? How about some jelly roll? We can tell you all about it and right in front of the kids, too. Jug Band music is loved by people of all ages. The Mad City Jug Band is a hoot and is sure to make you smile, dance and clap your hands. Are you ready to have some fun?
