What began as a whiskey-fueled lark (the Monday Night Wild Turkey Jug Band), has become over four decades of holiday tradition. The group plays its share of holiday standards, but makes its mark with original tongue-in-cheek odes to the season such as "Santa Lost a Ho" and "Daddy's Drinkin' Up Our Christmas." The Jug Band backs up its lyrics with an entertaining blend of country, blues, skiffle and rock, and at times has featured guest spots by such luminaries as harmonica hero Norton Buffalo, R&B singers Maria Muldaur and Angela Strehli Mike Duke, Barry Melton, Shana Morrison as well as havingf Dan Hicks as a member through many decades. If you haven't already, be sure to make it a holiday tradition!
