Fat Chance covers not only classic jug band tunes from Cannon’s Jug Stompers and the Memphis Jug Band, but jug band versions of classic country, blues, early rock, and modern singer songwriters. Unlike many so-called jug bands, we actually use a jug, as well as washboards, kazoos, guitars, banjo, mandolin, tub bass, muted tuble and harmonica. Fat Chance has taken home the trophy at Jug Band Battles throughout Minnesota.
