Smokin' Fez Monkeys

A modern jug band performing a wacky mixture of songs and tunes from several decades ago, mixed in with a number of original tunes. Be ready for more than a few surprises along the way.  It’s a sort of a ragtime-cartoon-Vaudeville-circus-hobo-gypsy-jazz thing.  Great fun for the entire family.
