Jumpin' Juba: Steve Hurl, guitar and vocals; Bruce Ward, piano; Brian Flan, drums. The group mixes regional blues from Chicago, Memphis, and New Orleans together with roots-y rock & roll, jazz, calypso, and Latin flavors.
The band has been together for 17 continuous years, playing community and library concerts, fairs & festivals. Steve is a songwriter and veteran of the Boston folk scene. His guitar playing draws from the great acoustic blues fingerpickers, and from the roots-y string benders of the 1950s. Bruce's burly piano work recalls such greats as Prof. Longhair, Otis Spann, and Albert Ammons. The band's CD releases Bumpity Bump and Slap Happy have received regional and overseas airplay, garnering many favorable reviews. www.stevehurl.com
