"The kings of 100% acoustic folk-skiffle-swing holiday
highjinks"
2023 Re-Jugification Holiday Tour!
News for 2023: ...we have assembled a cast of characters to bring you your musical holiday wackiness
featuring a return of some The Christmas Jug Band players that missed last year and some personnel from
Back pOrchEstra and
"The Hot Licks", (from Dan Hick's Holidaze in Hicksville).
Performing this year are Greg Dewey, Tim Eschliman, Paul Rogers, Snakebite Jacobs,
Candy Girard, Paul Robinson, and Blake Richardson.
2 shows will have Special Guest Kathy Kennedy (Freight & Salvage, Berkeley and Sweetwater Mill Valley), singer with Big Bang Beat, Zasu Pitts Memorial Orchestra and Mickey Thomas Starship.
This show includes mostly CJB tunes plus a good handful of Dan's humorous holiday tunes, some of his other classics,
and a few Back pOrchEstra ditties.
