A loose musical collective of approximately five jug band aficionados and/or free range geezers. Jug band music can be cantankerous and sometimes hilarious, diversely armed with guitar, uke, the occasional banjo, and a seemingly improbable array of homemade instruments. Including, of course, jugs.

Goran Ivanovic is a genre-defying solo guitarist whose original compositions draw from a rich tapestry of influences—classical, Balkan, cinematic soundtracks, and contemporary harmonic language. Rooted in the acoustic tradition yet constantly evolving, his music blends intricate fingerstyle technique with deeply emotional storytelling.

Born into the cultural crosscurrents of Eastern Europe and shaped by years of classical training and global collaboration, Goran's solo work is a deeply personal exploration of identity, place, and sound. Each piece is a journey—at once intimate and expansive—merging the precision of classical music with the soulful intensity of Balkan folk and the evocative depth of film scores.

Jim Nelson is a singer/songwriter currently living in Eau Claire. He was an elementary school teacher for 32 years who is enjoying his retirement by writing songs and singing them for whoever will listen. His music is categorized as "acoustic, singer-songwriter, folky Americana...whatever that means!".

A prolific jazz songwriter and vocalist, Leslie Vincent's lyrical creativity, rich alto tone, and magnetic stage presence have made her a standout in the modern-day jazz scene. Her album of original jazz + pop, Little Black Book, was featured in The Star Tribune as one of the Top Albums of The Year.

Beyond the stage, Vincent is a committed arts advocate and collaborative artist. Her performances often embrace cross-genre interpretation and a sense of openness that invites audiences in, creating an atmosphere that is both welcoming and deeply personal.
