Music Performance with the “All Worn Out” Jug Band Thursday, July 9 at 4:00 PMCommunity Rooms ABC Join us for an evening of music and dancing with Cape Cod’s All Worn Out Jug Band! The band — whose current lineup includes Gregory Baird, Kevin Howard, Mary Loebig, Mark van Bork, and Edmund Robinson — bring a decidedly animated stage presence to performances that can have audiences dancing in the aisles by the encore. Light refreshments will be served. Click here to RSVP for this performance! About the performers: There is something unique about Cape Cod’s All Worn Out Jug Band. In addition to being part of the “Post-Modern” Jug Band Movement, this group performs eclectic sets that include Jug Band classics interwoven with American roots music from traditional folk to Cajun, country, and gospel. As with many accomplished Jug Bands, you can expect to hear a washtub or doghouse bass, washboard, kazoos, whistles, and of course, a jug — a full complement of strings including guitar, mandolin, ukulele, fiddle, banjo, and an occasional concertina. Their 2008 CD’s songs have been played on WUMB (Boston), they’ve played live on WOMR (Provincetown), and, true to their Chatham roots, they have been a staple of that town’s First Night festivities for many years.
