The Christmas Jug Band Holiday Show

December 16, 2025 - 8:00 pm
Sweetwater Music Hall
19 Corte Madera Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941

The tradition began in 1977 at the Old  Mill Tavern (where the Corner Bar now is) and moved to the Sweetwater in the mid-’80s…

The Christmas Jug Band are stalwart purveyors of the jug-a-billy mystique! A tongue-in-cheek seasonal convergence of San Francisco Bay Area musical luminaries – the CJB has assembled a cast of characters to bring you musical holiday wackiness. The band features players from Back pOrchEstra, “The Hot Licks” (Dan Hick’s band), Marty Balin, Those Darn Accordions and New Orleans Nightcrawlers. 

The show will include mostly CJB tunes, plus a good handful of Dan’s humorous holiday tunes, some of his other classics, and a few Back pOrchEstra ditties as well.

“The kings of 100% acoustic folk-skiffle-swing holiday highjinks”, The Christmas Jug Band.
