Christmas Jug Band December 17, 2008

Join us for some off-beat holiday cheer as an all-star lineup of north Bay Area musicians, Paul Rogers (of Those Darn Accordions!), various Commander Cody alumni, Norton Buffalo and other Mill Valley musicians, join together to perform original holiday numbers, parodies of unlikely classics, and raucous jugbandizations of seasonal favorites. The Christmas Jug Band has been performing around the Bay Area in various incarnations for over twenty years . Their material ranges from holiday pop and jazz classics such as "Winter Wonderland" and "Merry Christmas, Baby" to more off-beat tunes as "Daddy's Drinkin' Up Our Christmas," "Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit," “Santa Lost a Ho” and "Santa Don't Do It," a song campaigning that Santa not shave off his beard even though Mrs. Claus wants him to. Think of evening as big-time fun in the form of woozy vocals accompanied by harmonicas, rubboards, washtub basses, jugs, kazoos, accordions, and scuffed-up guitars.
