I'm going up to Sutter Creek on August 17 to get things set up for the Sutter Creek Jug Band Festival. It's at the beautiful Sutter Creek Inn right on Main Street. Ten bands, some of whom you've heard on Sounds So Sweet and some you've never heard - including the Mighty Jugamites Mento Band! The Brokin Jug Band will play in the mid-afternoon.
Then the Brokin Jug Band (Forest and I) will be playing at the Lazy Summer Daze Festival in Leland Meadows above Yosemite. Great location and lots of great music. We play Saturday afternoon at 3:00 for more than an hour.
So of course there will be no live Outta Style or Sounds So Sweet August 17 or 24. I've gone back and cherry-picked some of my favorites for your listening pleasure. I'll be back August 31 to help you kick off your Labor Day Weekend.
Old favorites and jazz standards tonight:
