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.
