g burns jug band
The G Burns Jug Band plays old American music with an intensity and
authenticity rarely heard today: urban blues, mountain fiddle, and popular
music of the nineteen-twenties and thirties. Based in San Diego, G Burns is led
by multi-instrumentalist and native Kentuckian Clinton Davis, who grew up
hearing jug band music in its birthplace of Louisville. They have quickly
established a presence in the west coast roots music scene, opening for
legendary roots music acts like Jim Kweskin, Del McCoury, and Beausoleil avec
Michael Doucet. In 2015, their second album, The Southern Pacific & The Santa
Fe, won a San Diego Music Award for Best Local Recording.

No Depression
A joyous and soulful restoration of one of the lost treasures of American
musical tradition.
James Chute
San Diego Union-Tribune
Seriously, this is one tight, well-balanced, entertaining five piece ensemble.
Scott McDonald
San Diego CityBeat
They faithfully and flawlessly tackle century-old styles and canvass the early
roots of American music...This is the kind of band that could just as easily
lead a shoulder-to-shoulder barn stomp into the midnight hour as take the
helm in producing period music for Hollywood
Lou Curtiss,
Jazz Roots (KSDS-FM)
Folk Arts Rare Records
Takes you back to the 1920’s glory days of the Memphis Jug Band and Cannon’s Jug Stompers....These guys have a sound that would do the Golden Era
proud.”
Justin Lichtenstein
San Diego Uptown News
This group is old school...delivers hillbilly romps that’d sound right at
home at Southern shindigs...Look no further if you have a thing for
authentic and vibrant takes on a classic American style.
Frank Kocher
San Diego Troubadour
A hillbilly rave-up...Sounds like a freight train hauling ass down the track
with some fiddlers and banjo pickers on board.
