Westcott Jugsuckers – 7/25 — Known for their raucous shows, the versatile Jug Suckers bounce among Delta blues, ragtime, old jug band music, jump blues, R&B, and early jazz numbers interspersed with wisecracks, mischief, and participatory call and response singing with their audience. The Westcott Jug Suckers originally formed in 1988 and were a regular fixture at Syracuse area venues, providing a fitting acoustic accompaniment to the many excellent Chicago blues-style bands prevalent at the time. Their schedule of bookings and notoriety increased organically as the word of their rollicking jug band party continued to spread. Through the years, the band has evolved and changed personnel but the core of the music has remained constant. The number of fine musicians who have participated as Jugsuckers is frankly too long
