16 Blocks magazine in Blacksburg is running a story about the Jugbusters this month.  The print edition also features a photo spread that includes some Jugbuster fashion tips.  (No, seriously — it does.)  If you haven’t already seen the magazine, stop through town and pick up a copy.  They’re doing some really good work in covering the Blacksburg arts and culture beat.

In other band news, our spring schedule is filling up as it does every year.  Aside from our usual Thursday nights at the Cellar, we’ve got a March 22 dance at the Floyd Country Store, an April 5 dance in Patrick Springs, and an April 26 gig at the first-ever Mountain Lake Brewgrass Festival.  Beer tasting and the Jugbusters on Mountain Lake — what could be better?  Watch this space for details.

We’ve also been spending time working out a lot of new material in preparation for recording our first album in three years.  Those of you who have been following our gigs at the Cellar have heard some of the new songs under construction; we’ll be in the studio in April to put them on wax (or its modern digital equivalent).  We’re hoping to have it off the presses by early summer; stay tuned, and keep dancing!
