About Me |
|
| Devine's Jug Band was conceived and pieced together one night in 2007 by drummer Pete Devine (a current member of Gaucho,The Kally Price Blues Combo, Mal Sharpe's Jazz Band{20 years}; And founding member of Bo Grumpus{15years} & also Of Lavay Smith's Red Hot Skillet Lickers) . Devine's Jug Band sports an All-star solid gang of four fine musicians: Jimmy Sweetwater (who has appeared with everybody from the jazz great Ella Fitzgerald to the country rocker Johnny Paycheck and plays regularly with Jimbo Trout and the Fish People) on harmonica and vocals, Meredith Axelrod (Craig Ventresco & Meredith Axelrod) on guitar,kazoo, and vocals, Mayumi Urgino (Five Dollar Suit, Toshio Hirano) on fiddle and vocals . Pete Devine plays the jug, washboard, kazoo,Cheek-O-Phone and vocals-sometimes all at once...Devine's Jug Band recently headlined at the San Francisco Jug Band Festival in Golden Gate Park and received raves from the audience and was featured in the SF Weekly article about the festival...Performed at the 2008 S.F Blue Grass &Old Time Music Festival,2008 Sacramento Jazz Festival... also performed at The Great American Music Hall and as well at Jazz at Pearls...to name a few...Devine's Jug Band Has done numerous radio shows in the Bay Area, and also a TV spot for the NBC News....The jug band truly captures the sound and spirit of the great jug bands from the 20&30's. Based in San Francisco's Mission District, the jug band pulls a lot of its material from the Memphis Jug Band, the Mississippi Sheiks, Gus Cannons jug Stompers and the Five Harmoniacs. free myspace layouts | |
