  • The Christmas Jug Band
    GLOBE RECORDS [email protected] www.globerecords.com P O Box 5523 The Christmas Jug Band Mill Valley CA 94942 707-765-6597 he Christmas Jug Band Story - A momentary lapse of sanity that became an annual holiday tradition spanning 25 years. TT A small group of pals living in Mill Valley, California, in the mid 70s with a penchant for Kentucky bourbon formed The Monday Night Wild Turkey Jug Band. From Yellow Springs, Ohio, Gregory Leroy "Duke Dagreeze" Dewey (Mad River, County Joe & the Fish, Marty Balin), his brother - Nicholas Q (Not Joe) Dewey, and their partner in "The Reptile Brothers Band," Tim Eschliman (Commander Cody, Etta James) started the weekly Appalachian-style jug jams with the Deweys' roommate, Paul Wenninger (from Chicago, road manager for Van Morrison, Dan Hicks). Spur-of-the-moment street corner appearances, instigated by CJB circa 1997 Dan Hicks (Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks) around the same time also had a jug band instrumentation and included many of the same musicians.The Monday Night Wild Turkey sessions lasted only 10 weeks, but had many guests stopping by, including Hicks; L. D.Armstrong (Rowdy and the Rivets), Austin de Lone (Eggs Over Easy, Commander Cody), and other local musicians mostly from the Old Mill Tavern music scene. The jug-jam sessions were about creating new tunes, new lyrics, or just new grooves with an acoustic, backwoods, jug sound. A harmonica, old arch top f-hole type guitars, a jaw harp, a washboard, a washtub bass and even coat-hangers banged on the edge of the old wooden kitchen table became the desired sounds of the group.To preserve the creative spontaneity, cover songs were generally forbidden and to maintain the funky, down-in-the-holler home-made instrument kind of sound, pianos, professional-sounding dread-naught sized guitars and any other instruments deemed "too-good- sounding" were discouraged.

Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know. If you pass our inquisition we may be able to send it on a sale or return basis. I say inquisition because if your favourite artists are SheDaisy and Rascal Flatts we certainly aren’t going to risk something as precious as Justin Trevino. By the same token we believe great music is timeless and knows no bounds. People may think chuck steak is good until they try the best rump! Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Dale Watson. Before hand I had the added pleasure of sitting in with my compatriot Eddie White (a.k.a. “The Cosmic Cowboy”) for an interview at the 2RRR Studios.

    April 24: Mexican Star Emanuel Navarrete to Defend Featherweight World Title Against Puerto Rican Contender Christopher Diaz LIVE on ESPN, ESPN Deportes and ESPN+ KISSIMMEE, Fla. (March 15, 2021) — Mexican great Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete, boxing’s busiest world champion, is set to kick off his 2021 campaign by reviving a long-standing pugilistic rivalry. Navarrete will make his first defense of the WBO featherweight world title Saturday, April 24 against Puerto Rican contender Christopher “Pitufo” Diaz at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Fla. In the co-feature, super middleweight Edgar “The Chosen One” Berlanga, 16-0, with 16 first-round stoppages, will step up in class against Demond Nicholson in a bout scheduled for eight rounds (or much less). Promoted by Top Rank, in association with All Star Boxing and Zanfer Promotions, Navarrete-Diaz and Berlanga-Nicholson will air live on ESPN and ESPN Deportes (simulcast on ESPN+) at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, with undercard bouts to stream live and exclusively on ESPN+. Ticket information will be announced shortly. “The sensational Emanuel Navarrete wanted a formidable opponent for his first featherweight title defense, and Christopher Diaz fits the bill,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum. “We are also thrilled to have Edgar Berlanga back on ESPN, as he is the most devastating young puncher I’ve seen in ages.” Navarrete (33-1, 28 KOs) burst onto the world scene in December 2018, battering Isaac Dogboe over 12 rounds to win the WBO junior featherweight world title. He is 7-0 since then, including five title defenses, all by stoppage.

    RED HOUSE RECORDS Red House Records: Angie Carlson • [email protected] • (651) 644-4161 BILL KIRCHEN & AUSTIN DE LONE Transatlanticana New Studio Album Unites the Titan of the Telecaster with the Godfather of Pub Rock Recorded in Austin, TX and London, UK with an all star cast Tour and festival dates announced including Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 2016 (August 26, 2016; Red House Records) Bill Kirchen and Austin de Lone team up for a hands-across-the-Atlantic collection with their new studio album, Transatlanticana, out on August 26, 2016 on Red House Records. This long- overdue release unites the pioneers of two major musical movements: Kirchen co-founded the original “Americana” band, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen, and his trademark Telecaster licks drove their hit “Hot Rod Lincoln” into the Top 10 in 1972. De Lone dropped out of Harvard to start Eggs Over Easy, moving to London and recording with Jimi Hendrix’s producer/manager and The Animals’ bass player Chas Chandler in 1970. The Eggs are the progenitors of British pub rock, the first link in the chain to punk rock, new wave and beyond. Backed by both their all-star British and American bands, Transatlanticana finds Kirchen and de Lone trading songwriting credits and lead vocals on this soulful and rocking collection. They kick it off with the timely “Hounds of the Bakersfield,” a tribute to the late Merle Haggard and the Bakersfield, CA sound. Kirchen and de Lone cut the album in Austin and London, capturing on disc the best of their 30-year collaboration.

    Mill Valley Oral History Program A collaboration between the Mill Valley Historical Society and the Mill Valley Public Library JIMMY DILLON An Oral History Interview Conducted by Debra Schwartz in 2015 © 2015 by the Mill Valley Public Library TITLE: Oral History of Jimmy Dillon INTERVIEWER: Debra Schwartz DESCRIPTION: Transcript, 36 pages INTERVIEW DATE: October 26th, 2015 In this musically infused and engagingly narrated oral history, guitarist, songwriter, and musical educator Jimmy Dillon recounts his devotion to music since the age of 12 when he decided he wanted to be a guitarist. Born in 1951 in Los Angeles, “in the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll,” Jimmy moved to Michigan with his family as a teenager, where he started gigging with his first band, The Fugitives. In 1969, after finishing high school, he moved back to California with his sister Chloe, settling in Sausalito. Jimmy dates his “love affair with Marin County” back to this moment. He recalls the music scene of the early 1970s in San Francisco and Marin, as well as his own first bona fide Marin band, The Edge. Jimmy recounts his 20-year musical relationship with Clarence Clemons and his deep love of the blues, which prompted him to write a play (or “bluesical”) entitled Ascension of the Blues, documenting the West African origins of the blues, its maturation in the United States, and subsequent diffusion throughout the world. Throughout this oral history, Jimmy describes how his career in music has taken him around the world, how he moved back to Michigan and later to Maui, but how, through all these migrations and displacements, Mill Valley — and Mt.

  • Bill Kirchen Et Too Much Fun
    Bill Kirchen et Too Much Fun Si l’on considère tous les musiciens qui ont atteint les sommets dans l’American roots music, Bill Kirchen est l’un des rares qui peut monter sur scène et jouer un de ces morceaux de guitare qu’il avait créé avec le légendaire Commander Cody, "Hot Rod Lincoln," et encore attirer les faveurs du public le plus jeune. Cette reconnaissance instantanée c’est celle d’une carrière de plus de 30 ans avec des sommités comme Cody, Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello et Danny Gatton, mais aussi celle de cinq albums avec un groupe absolument génial : le Too Much Fun. Vers le milieu des années 60, Bill Kirchen résidait à Ann Arbor dans le Michigan, un des berceaux du mouvement musical moderne. Et c’est là qu’en 1967, Bill Kirchen a contribué à former le légendaire : Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen, créateur d’un mélange de rock 'n' roll, hard-core country, boogie et de rockabilly qui les a propulsés dans la stratosphère des meilleurs groupes américains. Entre1967 et 1976, Bill Kirchen a chanté et joué sur 10 des albums de Commander Cody, y compris le célèbre single du Top Ten, "Hot Rod Lincoln," en 1972. Pendant les 10 années qui suivirent, il a tourné avec Commander Cody et a formé les Moonlighters, qui ont enregistré deux albums. L’un d’entre eux fut produit par Nick Lowe, qui présenta Bill Kirchen à quelques musiciens anglais comme Elvis Costello, avec qui il a travaillé. Nick Lowe l’engagea pour jouer sur ses deux albums “Party of One” (1991) et “The Impossible Bird” (1994) albums puis pour sa tournée en 1995.
