    "Folk Music in the most beautiful sense. They draw from a wide variety of sources, play songs and tunes on an unpredictable lineup of instruments, and make the music their own." -Robert Blake, Subdued String Band Festival Program  
    The Sour Mash Hug Band is an eclectic, acoustic dance band that plays everything from Romanian couple dances to Appalachian Hymns to Klezmer to Harlem swing.  They are especially known for their original tunes reminiscent of Kurt Weill and Danny Elfman. The band started in Eugene, OR about 7 years ago as an old-time band with the classic line-up of claw-hammer banjo, fiddle, guitar, and bass. After a year or two in Eugene they took to the road and traveled by bike, freight train, hitchhiking, and broken down old cars. This took them to Colorado, San Francisco, Bellingham, and finally to New Orleans, which became their "home away from home."
