About Me


In the middle of a depraved binge on the inner most fringe of summer vacation, eating chocolate chip pizza and fried ice cream, and amongst a massive congregation of hippies, Aaron and Ivan made their personal discoveries of the travelling ragtime band, The Inkwell Rhythm Makers. Being familiar with Big Bill Broonzy and Mother McCree's jug allstars, the young men knew what jug band and prewar music were. This new twist inspired them to change their developing Rock 'N' band into a twisted jug band of their own, but this one twisted Hokum and Vaudeville. The instruments were built, bought, or stolen and the performers gathered, and then there was Haxaw.
