New England native, Peter Ward may have been raised in Maine; however, once you hear him play you would think otherwise. Taking a page from some of the greats, his style is a fusion and a “tip of the hat” to blues luminaries, integrating traditional Chicago-style blues of Jimmy Rogers, urban blues of BB King, swing blues, and classic country.

The all-acoustic Busted Jug Band harkens back to the street bands of the early 20th Century in Memphis and other Southern cities. Otherwise known as “Juke Bands,” “Spasm Bands” and “Skiffle Bands,” these hilarious musical organizations featured homemade instruments such kazoo, washboard, jug and washtub bass, as well as guitar, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, etc.
