Jug Band Hall of Fame: Home

How it works

Induction into the Jug Band Hall of Fame is a democratic process and everyone in the jug band community is invited to participate. Here's how it works:

Anyone can register and nominate an artist, patron or institution by adding them to our database.
Members who meet any of our voting requirements can rate the importance of each nominee with a simple 5-star system.
Every year, we'll induct the top-ranked nominees in each category. Other nominees will remain in contention for following years.

This website is also a resource for biographical material on our nominees, so please feel free to add any info you have.

You've found the Jug Band Hall of Fame!

This is the place to learn about the greats of our genre, add info for others to share, or rate future inductees.
