about

Anticipated 3rd album by the stalwart purveyors of the Jugabilly Mystique: Dan Hicks (“Canned Music”), Paul Rogers (Those Darn Accordions!), Tim Eschliman (Etta James, Rhythmtown Jive), Austin de Lone (Nick Lowe), Lance Dickerson (original Commander Cody Lost Planet Airman), Nik Phelps (Club Foot Orchestra, Sprocket Enemble), Bill DeKuiper, and Blake Richardson with special guests Norton Buffalo (Steve Miller) and Gregory Leroy Dewey (Mad River, Country Joe & the Fish). In celebration of 20+ seasons of San Francisco Bay Area Christmas shows, these kings of skiffle-swing have delivered an over 53 minute all-acoustic tirade on the offbeat side of the holidays. As is their wont, this album features originals, parody rewrites of unlikely standards, and just plain old wacky renderings of traditional holiday numbers. “Rhythm on the Roof ” threatens to outpace the CJB’s own “Mistletoe Jam” as one of the top classic alternative Christmas albums.

“When it comes to Christmas, Rupaul doesn’t have a corner on camp, as the Christmas Jug Band demonstrates on its third album,‘Rhythm on the Roof’.This collection of San Francisco ‘jug-a-billy’ musicians present newly-appropriate material here such as ‘Santa Don’t Do It’ and ‘Daddy’s Drinkin’ Up Our Christmas’”
-- UPI Arts & Entertainment -- It’s Only Rock & Roll

“Christmas Jug Band, Rhythm on the Roof: Fun guys give an offbeat twist with originals and parodies. Instruments include
washtub bass and coat hangers.”
-- USA Today Life Section Pop/Rock reviews -- D.Z. Long
