When it comes to music, booze is the muse. Rockers love their whiskey, ravers get hopped up on Red Bull and vodka, and broken-hearted country boys shed tears in their beers. But what do jug band fans guzzle while slapping their knees? Tuesday at the Bamboo Room, the answer is (surprise!) wine. Early in the night, several varieties of fine Spanish wines are offered for tasting, and afterward, the Banyan Street Jug Band treats listeners to some old-time front-porch stomp. The quintet (guitar, mandolin, washtub bass, drums, and, of course, da jug) mixes traditional jug band tunes with bluegrass-tinged originals. Sounds like the perfect ingredients for a nouveau hoedown. Vino, vidi, fiddle?
The Spanish winetasting begins at 7 p.m. and the Banyan Street Jug Band plays at 9 Tuesday, December 28, at the Bamboo Room, 25 S. “J” St., Lake Worth. Admission is free. Call 561-585-2583.
