78 Special is the Ken Burns of jug bands!
Guy Forsyth, Westen Borghesi, and Willy Webster take you back in time into an exploration of American roots music going back 100 years. Yes, we’re playing music that nobody wants anymore! You won’t hear this on the radio, no no no. There is no Buck to be made off of the music of our ancestors, so why do we do it? Sure, it sounds great and it’s filled with joy, but there’s no angle here. Jug, washboard, harmonica, Music saw, quills, ukulele, banjolele, mandolin, banjolin? We got it all! I mean, how many instruments to these three guys play? They’re obviously overcompensating for something.
