BEST BET Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle jugabilly! Irreverence and merriment—it’s what they do. Yes, it’s time for the CHRISTMAS JUG BAND—that motley crew of jugabillians and notable Bay Area musicians who, like most great American pioneers, got their start from “a Wild Turkey-inspired momentary lapse of sanity.” And now, four albums and 30 years of fruitcakes later, the Christmas Jug Band is an indisputably unconventional Carol of the bellows. holiday tradition of folk-skiffle-swing jug band merriment from the North Pole to Marin and beyond. Hors d’oeuvres provided by Balboa Cafe. 8pm Dec. 21-22 at Mill Valley Masonic, 19 Corte Madera Ave., downtown Mill Valley.
