<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34)">Formed in 1997 out of the ashes of 1990’s jug bands, Pork Chop and the Metropolecats, Bill Carney’s Jug Addicts are a veritable jug band supergroup. Their repertoire is an eclectic mix of classic jug band blues, Tin Pan Alley tunes, early jazz, country, folk, and nearly anything else, all powered with the sound of two washboards, a homemade box bass, fiddle, guitar, and slide guitar. They’ve appeared on the Today show and Colbert Report, played for years at the Rodeo Bar in Manhattan and Skinny Dennis in Williamsburg, The Brooklyn Folks Fest, the Brooklyn Museum, Stone Hill Barns, and the Jalopy Theater. “Weddings, parties, anything and bongo jams a specialty” (to quote The Clash). Currently they can be found regularly at Barbès and Sunny’s Bar in Brooklyn and are thrilled to be making their debut at The Kite. The evening features Bill Carney on washboard, kazoo, vocals; Peter Ford on box bass, vocals; Seth Kessel on guitar, vocals; Karl Meyer on fiddle, vocals; Steve Cooney on slide guitar; Brian Mulroney on washboard, vocals.</span></p>
