Americana Happy Hour ft. Bones Jugs

February 20, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Bones, jug, xylophone, Banjos, archtop guitar, foot percussion, kazoos, all sorts of noise makers. These are just some of the instruments Bones Jugs use to conjure up their eclectic acoustic sound. The group began in December 2012 with the vision of being a pop-up party on street corners, at farmers markets, in living rooms (and kitchens!), or amplified in a club. A jugband of sorts, with multiple one-man-bands woven together in a tapestry of delight. And the cherry on top? high speed, virtuosic, xylophoning. They began learning 1920’s xylophone rags and arranging classic (and not-so-classic) Americana songs. After just a few public appearances it became clear that the group was too fun to be a side project. Listeners wanted to dance, sing, and laugh along as long as the tunes kept coming. The band could not resist.

Featuring:
Cody Jensen – Xylophone, Bones, Jugs, Banjos, kazoo and so on
Charlie Harris – Guitar, Banjo, bells, whistles, kazoo etc
Frank Kurtz – Drums and … we’ll find out
