Description
Enjoy a mellow Sunday afternoon with the acoustic sounds of a 1920's style jug band.
The Watermelon Mountain Jug Band recognized as “one of New Mexico’s treasured natural resources” has been entertaining audiences, young and old, since 1975. True to the original instrumentation of 1920’s jug bands of the South, band members Patrick Houlihan (vocals, guitar, jug, harmonica, kazoo, jaw harp), Gary Oleson (washtub bass), Ben Perea (guitar and banjo), and Barbara Piper (washboard, vocals, high hat, percussion) delight audiences with country, bluegrass, jug band, ragtime, popular, Spanish, original music, and even some rock ’n roll. They are a musical delight to the ears and the eyes!
