After a mishap involving the washtub bass, Butch the dog, and a neighborhood kid's laundry, we went on a year-long hiatus...
...But no worries faithful fans, Bob Ross and The TV Art Supplies are planning a very-extremely-glorious TRIUMPHANT return!
CHECK HERE FOR UPDATES!
Bob Ross and the TV Art Supplies are the raddest jug band in all the land. They're really beginning to make a name for themselves in the New Orleans music scene.
They play every other Thursday at 7:00pm behind the tool shed at the First Street United Methodist Church in Central City. If you're looking for a happenin' time check them out.
***NOTE be sure to get there on time their set is usually short.. well, actually it's only one song so DON'T MISS IT!***
Who I'd like to meet: Bob Ross & Shaggy
The Band:
Jackie Chandra- Lead Vocals Amy "The doogan" Allen - Guitar / Flute / Vocals Jedditalius Maximus Freeman- Washtub Bass / Percussion "Sweatshirt" Kristin Burlage- Jaw Harp / Guitar / Ukulele
I dedicated a sing along jam in Northhampton to us. I hope that wherever the rest of the band is, that we're all making joyful sounds. Miss you all a ton. Very relieved to hear good news for NOLA. I'll be there Thanksgiving!
A thousand thank you's for the birthday wishes. It's amazing to inform you that I will be making my return to the greatest city in the world for Mardi Gras next February! I'm also trying to come for a few days in August, but that remains to become official. You will be the first to know if it's in stone. I hope you're doing well! much love, Sir Dr. Jedd Curtis Freeman
I never thought this day would come --Bob Ross & the TV Art Supplies is back together. I feel whole again. From here on out, let's not speak of that tragic day again...I died that day.
I'm doing great, thank you. Played a few shows with various musicians, including George Michael, The Digital Underground, and Tag Team. Most recently did a Slayer tribute album with the Isley Brothers. I'm missing the band very much, and will hopefully be reunited with BR&TAS soon. It should also be known that I am and will forever be in love with Jackie Chandra for life. byaaaaaaaa!
okay. the guy who sings "look good in leather" is Cody Chestnutt. He's also the guy who sang "The Seed" with the legendary Roots crew. Special note: Jedd is officially missing being a member of BR&TAS. He is willing to do a reunion tour. Please call his agent ASAP.
