Historically significant, the band
accurately represents the authentic sound and
feel of the first jug bands from the turn of the
century - the medium which influenced the styles
and development of many players and contributed
enormously to the evolution of jazz and blues.
“The Jazz Show” conjures the era of prohibition,
speakeasies and bathtub gin. This is 1930’s
jazz, ragtime and Delta blues with a few
original songs that blend perfectly. This show,
both unusual and unique, fascinates and
mesmerizes audiences of all ages. This act is
ground breaking; a performance that is rare.
Musically these are leaders, not lemmings, and
they take the stage to contribute not commodify.

The most prestigious drum magazine, Modern
Drummer's, "Kit of the Month" features The

set-up.
(it's like winning the Pulitzer prize!) |

The banter between songs is witty and
entertaining. Band leader, Douglas Fraser,
musicologist, songwriter, entertainer, vocalist,
banjoist, tenor guitar player and comedian takes
the audience on an unforgettable romp through
classic songs that can only be described as “the
most loved” and “the absolute craziest!” Tony
McBride, the show’s percussionist, steals the
attention constantly with the most outrageous
visual performance seen anywhere. Terry Devine,
who has played the jug for forty three years,
astounds the audience with the tuba-like sounds.
The Genuine Jug Band can play huge stages
and truly stands alone as the most
unforgettable, interesting and original jazz
production available today. |
