The Jim Kweskin Extravaganza is a live concert that wil l honor and celebrate Jim’s legacy and his contributions to the music indu stry over the past 60-plus years.

Jim Kweskin is the founder of the legendary 1960s Jim Kweskin Jug Band with Fritz Richmond\, G eoff Muldaur\, Maria Muldaur\, Mel Lyman\, and Bruno Wolfe. During the fiv e years they were together\, they successfully transformed the sounds of p re-World War II rural music into a springboard for their good-humored perf ormances. Their imitators were legion\, including a San Francisco jug band that became the Grateful Dead\, a Los Angeles jug band that became the Ni tty Gritty Dirt Band\, and a New York jug band that became the Lovin’ Spoo nful. No other group attained their unique blend of youthful energy and an tiquarian expertise\, tight musicianship\, loose camaraderie\, and infecti ous swing.

The concert will feature songs from Jim’s soon-to-be-re leased recording on StorySound Records\, Never Too Late: Jim Kweskin\, Duets with My Friends\, which will be released on Friday\, January 26 \, 2024. The show will also feature artists and songs from Jim’s storied career\, including the renowned and influential Jim Kweskin Jug Band.

Scheduled to appear along with Jim Kweskin\, are Maria Muldaur\, Geof f Muldaur\, Samoa Wilson\, Annie Raines\, Paul Rishell\, Juli Crockett\, S uzy Thompson\, and Matthew Berlin. Additional artists appearing will be a nnounced soon.
