Call the music of the South Austin Jug Band whatever you like: bluegrass or newgrass, neo-Jug, acoustic country-folk, Texas roots unplugged, swinging Lone Star beatnik country or anything else that strikes you. The sprightly picking and fiddling and the quintet’s witty original songs and choice covers make their sound defy easy pigeonholing while passing through countless categories.
