For more than a decade, RAMBLIN JUG STOMPERS have been raising a rollickin’ roots-music ruckus, backporch bluegrass, gutbucket blues, moonshine twang and hobo jungle jazz. Armed with a banjo, mandolin, kazoos, guitar, washboard, assorted toys and, of course, a jug, Bowtie, Cousin Clyde, Mister Eck and Wild Bill have unleashed their merry musical mayhem everywhere that would have them – and some places that wouldn’t – from museums to concert halls to major music festivals. Their retro Americana sound and wry sense of humor can be heard on their albums – “Hobo Nickel” and “Crooked Songs: Live at Caffe Lena.”

We develop energetic entanglements with others over time, the person who cut you off on the road that you can’t stop thinking about, the kid who bags your groceries and puts the eggs on the bottom, every time. These entanglements slow you down. Learn a CoreIndividuation technique to sever the entanglements. It is 10 minutes well spent.
