Half Moon Jug Band will be performing at Johnson Hall's FREE Summer Waterfront Concert Series

The Half Moon Jug Band is a three-man mob of musical desperadoes waging a daily battle against the humdrum forces of boredom and inaction. They fend off the blahs with banjoes, kazoos, guitars saxophones and silliness. They want to make you dance and sing along at the top of your lungs.

Jug band music is homemade music. You won't hear it on the radio, you won't see it on MTV and you can't get it at Wal-Mart. It's a bubbling casserole of music as diverse as America itself. Labels don't work. If it sounds good, if the audience claps, if it feels honest, then it's jug band music. The band thrives on interaction with their audiences. For the HMJB, it's not just about standing on stage playing songs. It's about singing, dancing and making people happy. They do whatever it takes to put on a show for all ages, studding every performance with jokes, stories and mandatory sing-alongs. No one gets out without singing. No one.

The HMJB has made many live appearances on television and radio including WCSH's "207," WGME's "Daybreak," WPFO's "Good Day Maine," WMPG's "Local Motives" and WCTN's "Shine."

Half Moon Jug Band will be performing at Johnson Hall's FREE Summer Waterfront Concert Series Friday August 26, 2016 at 6:00 pm. This is a free concert down on Gardiner's Waterfront Park in Gardiner.
