Off the back of new single ‘Big Things Calling’, the first taste of their new album, Melbourne’s The Perch Creek Family Jugband have just announced their national “Dressin’ Up & Shakin’ Down” tour.
Originally from Perch Creek in the North Coast area of NSW, The Perch Creek Family Jugband is four siblings and one stray partner. With humble beginnings as a street jug band led by their eccentric father, Bob Hodgkins, The Perch Creek Family Jugband has been performing and evolving over the best part of ten years. Though Bob has since hung up his jug band hat and handed over the reins, he laid in place the foundations for one of the most engrossing and innovative musical acts doing the rounds of Australia today.
