Chucky Waggs and The Jenny Johnson Band
An overload of Music and Fun as Chucky Waggs and The Jenny Johnson Band take the stage at The Old Feed Store! Doors open at 6:00 pm. A BYO Event
Chucky Waggs is a multi-instrumentalist, singer/ songwriter based out of the hills of Eureka Springs, AR. Currently performing live shows as a one man band act, Chucky Waggs plays a mix of guitar, banjo, harmonica, and kazoo, all while using his feet to stomp out the back beat on a thrown together drum kit. Drawing influences from early American roots music, as well as early punk and rock and roll, he's often joined on stage by numerous accompanying musicians to add to the energy and dynamic of his original material, as well as some early American folk songs. The result ranges from intimate, often humorous, folk ballads, to all out rowdy stomp alongs. A Great evening of music with Chucky Waggs and The Jenny Johnson Band at The Old Feed Store! Chucky Waggs has traveled the country playing music in acts such as The Broke Strang Band and Mountain Sprout, all the while writing and recording his own original material. His debut album "company of raggs" is a compilation of D.I.Y. recordings featuring accompaniment by, "Anyone who was around and wanted to record some songs." 'Company of Raggs' is a simple showcase of Chucky Waggs' songwriting ability as well as his variation in style. The Jenny Johnson Band..will be performing with Jenny AND Chucky! Jenny has created a style all her own through an amalgam of bluegrass, soul, ragtime, jazz and folk music. In 2014 she released her debut solo album, Torch Ditties, recorded entirely at the Old Feed Store to include additional live tracks. She most recently filmed the pilot episode for a new PBS series showcasing Southern Illinois musicians entitled, Little Egypt Live, which aired summer of 2015.
