Jook Joint Band

Jook Joint Band is a jug band at heart and they have been wowing audiences with their snappy renditions of old time blues, skiffle and ragtime music in and around Western Australia for the past ten years. They like to call the music they play “dancing blues” as they make it their aim to get their audience tappin’ their feet and slappin’ their thighs.

Demo

In the day jug bands made music in dance halls and gin joints using home-made instruments
from anything that came to hand. Whereas today the Jook Joint Band play songs with a toe
tapping and infectious jumpin’ dance beat using a variety of instruments ranging from
washboard, ukulele, kazoos, 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, upright double bass, stand up
drums, harmonica and of course jug!

With the release of 4 CD’s, “Barking in Freo”, “Jook Joint Band aka kazoo”, “Jookbox Music”
and their newest “Shake That Thing” in 2017, more and more people will be recognising them.
In particular as “Shake That Thing” reached #4 on the national community radio charts.
Jook Joint Band are: Sean Low on harmonica, kazoo, jug, vocals; Peter Birch on drums,
percussion, vocals; Nick Glorie on double bass, vocals; Bill Johnstone on guitar, washboard,
kazoo, ukulele, jug, vocals and Larry George on lead guitar, vocals.

In the past few years we have been playing at bars/pubs and community events such as such
as The National Hotel, Swallow Bar, Rodney’s Bait ‘n Tackle, Clancy’s Fish Pub, Mukinbudin
Spring Festival, Canning Show, Waroona Show, City of Fremantle ‘Heritage Festival’ and the
Perth Folk & Roots Club.
In addition, they have performed at music festivals including Blues at Bridgetown Festival,
