SUMMARY:Jug Band Festival at Abbott Square
DESCRIPTION:Abbott Square: Jug Band Festival\nThursday-Sunday\, August 6 – 9 \nAugust 6\, 5:45 – 7:30pm: Pono Hawaiian Grill\, 120 Union Street in Santa Cruz\nAugust 7\, 6 – 9pm:  Museum of Art and History\, 725 Front Street in Santa Cruz\nAugust 7\, 7 – 9pm: Abbott Square\, 118 Cooper Street in Santa Cruz\nAugust 8\, 12 –  9pm: Abbott Square\, 118 Cooper Street in Santa Cruz\nAugust 9\, 12 –  9pm: Abbott Square\,118 Cooper Street in Santa Cruz \n\n\n\nJug band music is scrappy\, soulful\, and a little unexpected. \nThe songs are an energetic and artful blend of old-time jazz with blues and gospel. \nIt can be played using washboards\, jugs\, kazoos; anything that can be turned into an instrument – or guitar\, banjo\, and brass – it’s the kind of music that makes you stop and smile! \n\n\n\n  \n  \nA History of Jug Band Music by the Trolley Drops\nFriday\, August 7\, 2026\, 6pm – 7pm in the Mah Garden Room\nLearn about it as Trolley Drop band members give a short slide lecture/musical presentation to kick off the Second Annual Santa Cruz Jug Band Festival. \nThe wild and wacky sound we call Jug Band Music blends musical styles from Europe\, Africa\, and the United States. Jug band music originated in the 1910-1920s\, south of the Mason Dixon line\, and was played both informally and by professional bands in a wide range of settings\, from street corners to the Kentucky Derby. The recordings made of popular jug and washboard bands before World War II now have become the cannon of the genre. \nIn the late 1950s there was a revival of interest in those songs that spawned a jug band revival providing number one hits for rock and roll supergroups. Today the term refers both to bands that play those songs and also to bands that play modern popular songs using jugs and other homemade instruments. Come and learn the colorful and fascinating history of Jug Band Music from Trolley Drop band members Greg Meyer and Peter Thomas. \nhttps://www.santacruzmah.org/events/history-of-jug-band/2026/08/07 \n  \n  \n
