# Event Details - **Event Name**: Half Moon Jug Band - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: The Half Moon Jug Band is a 21st century jug band rooted in the Downeast humor and dry wit traditions of their home State O’ Maine.About this EventUpbeat and positive, the Half Moon Jug Band does whatever it takes to get you singing along and dancing in the aisles. They firmly believe that “Louie, Louie” is every bit as real a folk song as “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain.”Before you ask: There’s no jug. It’s implied. Jug band music is the homemade music friends make sitting ’round the kitchen table. You won’t hear it on the radio, you won’t see it on cable TV and you can’t get it at Wal-Mart. Labels don’t apply here. If it sounds fun, if the audience claps in time, if it feels honest, then it’s jug band music.This band thrives on interaction with audiences. It’s not just about standing on stage playing songs. It’s about singing, dancing and making people happy. Every performance is studded with jokes, stories and mandatory sing-alongs. No one gets out without singing...No one.The Half Moon Jug Band started as a merry band of sidewalk subversives entertaining passersby and annoying shopkeepers on Exchange Street in Portland, Maine 20 years ago. Now, they can be found on the road playing concerts and festivals all over the northeast like New Year’s Portland, the Maine Festival, the Old Port Festival, the Prescott Park Folk Festival, the Oddfellow Theatre, Johnson Hall, Celebration Barn Theater, Stonington Opera House, the Winthrop Performing Arts Center, the Maine Lobster Festival, Burlington’s strange 3rd of July Fireworks extravaganza, the Fryeburg, Deerfield and Cornish Fairs, and many town concerts too numerous to enumerate here.The Half Moon Jug Band 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” and “The Night Show with Danny Cashman.”In 2018, the Half Moon Jug Band released its sixth full-length album: “Half Live at the Half Moon.” Half the new collection was recorded live, in concert. It joins the band’s other recordings: 2015’s “Don’t Bore Us Get to the Chorus,” 2013’s “North Pond Hermit Sessions,” 2009’s “Get the Show on the Road,” 2005’s “Jug Band Army,” 2003’s “Christmas On Exchange Street” and 2001’s “Space Man in a Jug Band.”https://www.halfmoonjugband.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/freeport/half-moon-jug-band/100001980372407180 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, festivals, concerts, fireworks, performances, art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.85, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Freeport - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: Cadenza - **lat**: 43.85618149999999 - **long**: -70.1014391 - **full address**: Cadenza, 5 Depot Street, Freeport, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Half Moon Jug Band - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c22af9c4f91332b31965f8476558bc8ea570ab977ac4fd8748fe829c2d4a7558-rimg-w816-h408-dce7c19d-gmir.jpg?v=1768240581 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Half Moon Jug Band being held? - **A:** Half Moon Jug Band takes place on Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Cadenza, 5 Depot Street, Freeport, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Half Moon Jug Band? - **A:** Half Moon Jug Band is organized by Cadenza Freeport. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
