Strictly Jug Nuts
About
The
Band...
Winners of Chicago Jug Band Battle 2009 Organized by long-time Old Town School teacher Skip Landt, Strictly Jug Nuts loves jug band music, and, when led by our hearts, will get on the road at the drop of a jug.

The band includes key members of the jug band that won the 25th Annual Battle of the Jug Bands in Minnesota in 2007 and individuals whose music appears on collections and CDs including Jugs Across America, Hare of the Jug, Good For What Ail's Ya, and the Old Town School Songbook Collection.
Strictly Jug Nuts has performed at festivals, concerts, workshops, and other social gatherings, including the 2008 Chicago Battle of the Jug Bands and the 2008 Caxton Club Revels and Annual Auction. In February 2009, SJN their workshop/concert drew an all-ages crowd at the University of Chicago Folk Festival.

The band includes guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, jug, and kazoo, with BoomBoom on washtub bass and Jake on his unique electrified washboard. We offer hands-on, jug, kazoo, and percussion opportunities so audiences can join in the fun.

Say...		 "We had a fabulous time! Your band is really great! Please let us know when you are playing again. Our son, miraculously, didn't fall asleep on the way home. He played his kazoo and sang the whole way home. You inspired him. Thanks again! We all loved it.

Strictly Jug Nuts is just a phenomenal act that caught everyone’s attention. They played the washboard, a banjo, kazoos, acoustic guitars and a bunch of other instruments that are not seen much these days. They did a great version of “My Blue Heaven” in a style that was warm and easy on the ears.
