Biography

After 6 years and many miles, Orlando Florida's very own horror-infused Jug Band, The Bloody Jug Band is about to release their second full length album “Rope Burn” to the world, on April 13th.

Drawing inspiration from historic JUG bands of the 1920’s and 30’s as well as the darker side of Blues and Rock n’ Roll, The Bloody Jug Band carves out its own niche in a genre of music that has never seen such a bloody incarnation. Founded in 2009, this 8-piece group has adapted traditional Jug band instruments like: washboards, washtub bass, mandolin and the harmonica, to create their one-of-a-kind sound.

Their new album, “Rope Burn,” marks their second collaboration with producer Justin Beckler. As well, industry legend, John Keane of John Keane Studios from Athens Georgia (REM, Widespread Panic, The Indigos), was tapped to master the album. The eye catching album artwork was created specifically for the BJB by world renowned rock poster artist, Greg 'Stainboy' Reinel.

In 2012 the band received critical acclaim both in the US and Europe with their first full length entitled, “Coffin Up Blood.” But, with this new release, the band charts new waters and gives their audiences a more mature sound.

Press has called the band everything from Florida Swamp Noir, Outlaw Country, Southern Bluegrass, Jug Rock and many others...but no label can quite describe the unique dynamic of the BJB's Live Jamboree's and unique musical approach.
