| Using
all acoustic instruments, Jughead creates an infectious sound
rooted in traditional country/bluegrass spiced with some East Coast
that drives straight to the soul.
With
genuine songs about hockey, beer, ski-doos and the G.S.T., this
band just makes you feel good. The press has called them the "Best
band to drink to!", "Best party band...", etc...
Stompin
Tom called them "One mean little Street Band".
Lemme
Kilmister of Motorhead said in a BBC interview
Jughead's version of Ace of Spades was the only
cover version of his song he ever liked.
Bill
Monroe (the father of Bluegrass) liked Jughead so much he jumped
up on stage and started dancing while Jughead was performing.
Ozzy
Osborne digs Jughead's hillbilly cover of "Crazy
Train", soon to be released on video.
Jugheads'
hit single "Hockey Song",
can be heard at the Hockey Hall of Fame and at most NHL hockey
games. This
song got Jughead a Gold record
as part of the Attic Records compilation "Contact - The
all-star collection".
Jughead
has exported the "Hockey Song" around the world.
The new CD, "Speedwobble" is
charting on radio stations across Canada. It features many originals
and some motorgrass versions of Ozzy and the Ramones.
"Uncorked" also contains some real smoking original motorgrass
numbers as well as some twists on classics by Motorhead &
Deep Purple all the while remaining acoustic.
"Got'em, Got'em, Need'em, Got'em!" is an enhanced CD that
includes "Interactivated!", the international award
winning CD-Rom track.
Jughead
has toured Canada from coast to coast playing festivals such as
the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Vancouver Folk Festival,
Lolapalooza and Kumbaya.
