ethno-historic psycho-galactic jug band

About Me

Old time jug band music of the 20's and 30's,
theme and freedom improvisation.
electricity, drums, silent healing resonance
Enthnomusicology and human music history.
Some bird, dog, and horse music history.
psychological theatre, thematic explorations of paradox,
acoustic creep-outs and electro funk downs
educaational songs about: space-time, funny voices, helpful maneuvers, important land purchases, our state bird, delicious sweets, serpant energies and a large list of songs about being "crazy" .

Since 2006, Yourchestra has performed in art gallery's, coffee shops, rock venues, record stores, music festivals, sweet potato festivals, bars, house parties, steakhouses and street corners
