about
Formed in early 2009 at Syracuse University, Northbound Traveling Minstrel Jug Band plays a combination of acoustic bluegrass, folk-rock, and jam-based blues. Having shared the bill with national touring acts like U-Melt, Jazz Mandolin Project, Zach Deputy, Rubblebucket, Hot Day at The Zoo, Barefoot Truth, and The Dirty Guv’nahs, just to name a few, Northbound is gradually making a name for themselves within the modern Americana/jam scene. This past summer, Northbound completed a two-week tour through venues including Nectar’s (Burlington, VT), Sullivan Hall and Canal Room (NYC), and the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Festival (Central NJ) in support of their self-titled EP, released May 22, 2010. Upon returning to Syracuse this fall, they’ve played a number of weekend-long, camping festivals including Last Daze of Summer (Sterling, NY), Harvest Jam (Warsaw, NY), and a headline slot on the main stage at North Country Swamp Jam (Lisbon, NY). Northbound also played an official Syracuse University CMJ showcase at Canal Room October 22nd and were featured in Inside-Beat’s “Best of CMJ” article. A full-length album is currently in the works to be released this Spring. http://www.myspace.com/travelingminstreljugband for show listings User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
