The Ragtime Jug Orchestra

Über

The Ragtime Jug Orchestra is an acoustic roots duo recreating the sounds of the early 20th century American South, playing a good-time mix of ragtime, country blues, skiffle and jug band music.
Inspired by the music, they now bring you authentic recipes from the levees of St Louis, the Beale Street bars of Memphis, the back hills of Tennessee, the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta and the sporting houses of New Orleans.
John Anderson - vocals, 12 string and National guitars, kazoos and jug.
Alan Draisey - vocals, guitars, Dobro, mandolin, harmonica, kazoo and washboard
