Early 20th-century musicians began playing on cigar boxes, washboards, and so on. Hear ragtime, tin-pan-alley, Delta blues, rockabilly, and work songs on homemade jug-band instruments.
The CJBA promotes, encourages, fosters, and cultivates the preservation, appreciation, understanding, enjoyment, support, and performance of jug band music as an original American musical art form; other genres of music similar in style and execution including jook, hokum, spasm, skiffle, washboard, and medicine show music are also loved and appreciated.
