This humble, intimate small town festival has, utterly unexpectedly, set off the fourth great national revival of jug band music.
Jug band music has, for over a hundred years, served as an incubator for blues, ragtime and jazz music, and more recently, for modern folk-rock music. Using empty whisky jugs, washboards, washtubs rigged up with broomsticks and clothes line for improvised basses, spoons and bones, saws played with a discarded fiddle bow, comb and tissue paper, kazoos and banjos....these musicians will definitely astound you and make your feet jump to the music!
There will be a children’s workshop, Bryn & Megan of Liquor Cake will help young and old make and play your own instruments from found objects and household items and, with Rick and Heidi of 5 Cent Coffee, make a diddley-bow and a homemade kazoo. It’s a big, fun, entertaining (and even educational) musical celebration, so you’re invited to come early and stay late.
Enjoy a peaceful, entertaining afternoon and evening in the fresh air on the lawn of California’s first Bed and Breakfast Inn, the Sutter Creek Inn and have the time of your life.
