The Jug Band Giants, featuring Geoff Muldaur, John Sebastian, and Jim Kweskin come together for the first time in decades to perform the inspiring music which formed the basis of American roots music and today’s popular music. They’ll perform at 7:30pm on Saturday, November 18, 2017 at Newton North High School in a benefit for Historic Newton. Tickets are on sale now at www.newtonma.gov/jugbandgiants. An influential voice in the blues, folk, and folk-rock revival in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY, Muldaur was a co-founder of the legendary Kweskin Jug Band and has recorded with music icons that include Jerry Garcia, Bonnie Raitt, and John Cale. Founder of Lovin’ Spoonful, John Sebastian was a member of the Even Dozen Jug Band, played at Woodstock, and recorded with The Doors, Gordon Lightfoot, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and many more. The versatile Jim Kweskin founded the legendary Jim Kweskin Jug Band in Cambridge, MA. “We are incredibly honored to have the Jug Band Giants perform at our annual benefit concert,” said Lisa Dady, director of Historic Newton, a public private partnership that preserves and educates about history in the City of Newton.
