The Stumptown Jug Thumpers deliver a package of fun, toe-tapping music centered around the great old-time jug band music of the 1920's, 30's, 60's and now in the new millenium. We play many songs from those great eras, and mix in other old (and not so old) hokum. We also enjoy continuing the fine jug band street tradition of playing to entice their audience, from unique, home-made instruments to humourous lyrics to songs that were especially popular. As a modern jug band, we spice up our old-time with newer songs from the past 30 years, from the Bee Gees to Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd and the Outkast, as well as our own tunes. But our real joy is to see people dancing and having a good time as we keep some of the great music of artists like the Memphis Jug Band, Cannon's Jug Stompers, Jim Kweskin & the Jug Band, the Memphis Sheiks, King David's Jug Band, Jed Davenport, Hattie Hart and many others alive.
We started in March 2005, as the fulfillment of Rob's New Years Eve Resolution and long-time dream. Rob recruited some talented friends, and the Thumpers were born. We are currently in our third edition, having recently switched several members. We play good-time fun music and want you to have a ball listening (and dancing).
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
