South Austin Jug Band Strings Farewell
By Austin Sound • Dec 11th, 2008 • Category: NewsWe’re not sure exactly why the Statesman was shocked this week to announce that the South Austin Jug Band is cashing in its chips, at least for the time being. The talented stringers, while always commanding a popular following here in Austin, have been increasingly moving on to other projects - the band has had any number of lineups with only frontman James Hyland remaining the constant core. Still, we’ll guarantee one helluva a send off show at Momo’s for their final local engagement on New Year’s Eve. (We also won’t be surprised when some form of the band reunites to make some major performance money within the next few years).
