Bones Jugs ‘N Harmony can only be described as a cascading menagerie of novelty knick-knacks and catchy hooks, floating over rock solid rhythms and tempered with silly feel-good lyrics.
From their Facebook page:
Bones, Jug, Xylophone, wind power (clarinet, trombone, udderbot, kazoos,) resonator guitar, banjo, double bass, drums, all sorts of noise makers. These are some of what will be played with at one of our shows. The group began with the dream of throwing a high energy party with acoustic instruments. We learned some old piano rags (The Whistler, Log Cabin Blues, Chromatic Foxtrot) with Xylo leading the way. Now we have introduced a combination of originals and covers of both old and new songs, as old as Leroy Carr’s “Barrelhouse Women”, and the good old “Salty Dog Blues” and as new as Beastie Boys “Girls” and Abigail Washburn’s “Devine Bell.” We are highly influenced by jugbands and stringbands, both new and old. We want to party, we want, we want to party, with you, and your friends, and other people that neither of us know. We’re hoping we can all dance till we fall down, sing till our voices can not be found, and smile till our faces fall off. Bones.
