Breaking all the rules, Toad and the Jugadelics, defy convention and gravity almost everywhere and practically somewhere (or is that "practice somewhere") bringing you sounds like you've never heard anywhere (or somewhere), appearing almost anywhere, sooner or later and occasionally on time but almost always in time, almost always in tune, encouraging you to sing along - and reminding you that if you can't sing good, sing loud!!!
(Tim writes:) I first saw Washtub Bob perform at the Woodbury Library long before he was Washtub Bob and a long time friend of my partner in crime Roberta. I always wanted to sit down and play with him sometime (the Lap Steel falls if I don't sit down). So many years later Bob played some music at a friend's funeral and then we started getting together to play and then Todd, Bob's brother started playing with us, and then Jessica Eller, and then Tom Parker and Phil Juhas, Erez Eller and Erik Lambro, and sometimes Alex Hunt, and who knows who else will sit in sometimes...
We live in a little one room log cabin, high in the Woodbury Mountains, on the last road to get cable TV in the United States of America. We trek out in the steam powered JugMobile to surprise people by just setting up and playing at places nobody has even asked us to play at.
Every moment is a special moment.
Jug Bands, Bluegrass Bands, the Blues (not so much the Reds or Whites), Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, and especially our good friend Tom Jones
Some of us use picks (I broke our only shovel); Bob makes stuff out of hardware and old stuff he finds on the sidewalks on trash night; and of course the Stanely Steamer we travel around in, so we carry plumbing equipment with us...
