This one and only pre-war style jug band is based on the jug band style established
in Louisville in the 1920's, and takes the historical background of the 78rpm sound
source seriously.
They received greatest inspiration from the renowned jug player
"Earl McDonald", who was an enormous influence on the pre-war jug band scene in
Louisville.
The band was formed around 2000 by members primarily from the Kansai
area, as well as from the Hokuriku and Tokai regions.
In 2002, they released their
first album, "Carpet Alley-Breakdown", which consisted solely of well-known tunes
of the Dixieland Jug Blowers that were composed in 1926 during the prime of the
Blowers.
In 2006, the band appeared in its historical documentary film "Chasin' Gus Ghost".
In 2008, six years from their first release, their second album "THE JUG BAND
SPECIAL", was released as a tribute to Earl McDonald.
