Juggernaut Jug Band This band has to be experienced. This band combines humor and eccentricity with superb musicianship and spans the history of music in the US. Old timey blues up to a take off on Pinball Wizard, they are a hoot. Great Vocals and a panoply of instruments from kazoo to washboard to guitar and even trumpet will entertain you and possibly your clients or fellow party goers.

Riders of the Golden West
A unique band which features classic cowboy songs of the Roy Rogers and Gene Autry Era. Centers around guitar playing “cowboy” Stan as he shares the spotlight with his female “sidekick” Carmen.

Together they transport us back to the Old West where the toils of the trail were shared and remembered in song. We sit with them around the old campfire under a starry canopy as the cry of the coyotes fades in the distance.
