The Hohoppas (Miller Wise on cigar-box mandolin, kazoo, vocals and guitar; Waxwing John Cowan on jug, washboard, guitar and vocals; and Steve Cheseborough on vocals, harp, guitar and washboard) is one of a whole bunch of jug bands playing at the first San Francisco Jug Fest, scheduled for this Sunday, Aug. 27, at the newly renamed Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park. Admission is free. The fest runs 10 am to 7 pm; we play about 5 pm. More details at http://www.jugfest.org
We were a big hit at the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, and at the Boiler Room during Port T Blues Week, and we are looking forward to our California debut.
For a more intimate concert of jug-band and country blues, come to a house concert in Berkeley at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 28. Admission is $15. It includes a solo set of 1920s-30s-style country blues by me, another country-blues set by Cowan with Wise sitting in on a few, and a rousing finale by the Hohoppas! For reservations/directions/more info on the house concert, email Dr. Miller Wise at miller_w@pacbell.net or call him at 510-526-2330.
Cheers, Chezz
