Jug Band - Post-modern Jug Bands

Post-modern Jug Bands

The 1990s and first decade of the 2000s saw another generation of jug band revival, which might be termed post-modern jug band movement. These bands range from traditionalists (covering 1920s and 1930s jazz and blues) to modernists and post-modernists (creating new music from jug band instrumentation and aesthetics).

Scenes of this nature have developed in New York City (centering on the Lower East Side and Red Hook, Brooklyn), in Southern California (primarily the Los Angeles area), in the San Francisco Bay area, and in the Pacific Northwest.
