From the bustling Ohio River city of Louisville, Kentucky hail the Jawbones, an old timey string band playing antique Americana on antique instruments.  Much of their broad repertoire is collected from vintage 78 rpm records, wax cylinders, and field recordings featuring musicians from the hills, hollers, piedmonts, and river bends of these southeast United States.

Since forming in April 2008, the trio痴 unique brand of authentic roots Americana has taken them from concert halls (Glasgow痴 Plaza Theater, University of Louisville) and art galleries (Speed Art Museum, Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts) to front porches (Oxmoor Farm, Historic Locust Grove), and even the airwaves (Kentucky Homefront).

Their sound is a beer battered beef stew of ragtime banjo tom foolery, seat-of-the pants fiddle acrobatics, primitive guitar backbeats, and a gruntin' jug that is guaranteed to keep the hind quarters shakin'.  From the haunting, to the hypnotic, to the hell-for-certain . . . from old-time country to jug band jazz . . .  the Jawbones play like they mean it.
