About Me

In the shadow of Mount Rainier, in Tacoma, Washington, a small group of Celtic musicians known as "Jug Of Punch" are performing traditional Irish and Scottish music, an eclectic mix of folk and soft rock, bluegrass, and original compositions! "JUG OF PUNCH" is comprised of Jamie Marshall on traditional irish bodhran drum, djembe, high and low pennywhistles, Irish flute, bones/spoons, McNally stick, and back-up vocals. Jamie's hobbies include backpacking, fishing, wearing his kilt, and good single malt scotch!In addition to providing much needed guitar accompaniment, Carolyn Moore is gifted with a beautiful voice that is sure to capture your heart. Listening to her sing traditional ballads will stir your soul. Carolyn lives in Puyallup, and is of Irish and Scottish ancestory. Her significant other, Richard provides moral support to her and the band, and provides us with video services...THANKS RICHARD!Annie Henry is our wonderfully talented fiddler. Her other instruments include silver flute, guitar and vocals. At only 18, Annie has won many fiddle competitions, and is one of the most talented fiddlers you will see! She enjoys taking care of her 7 horses, and tending to the family farm. Disclaimer: Annie does NOT drink Scotch! (That we know of! ;)
