Jim Kweskin (born July 18, 1940, Stamford, Connecticut) is an American folk, jazz, and blues musician,[1] most notable as the founder of the Jim Kweskin jug band, also known as Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band, with Fritz Richmond, Geoff Muldaur, Bob Siggins and Bruno Wolfe.[1] The Jug Band was a significant part of the folk and blues revival of the 1960s.[2] Maria Muldaur (née Maria D'Amato), formerly with the Even Dozen Jug Band, joined the band in 1963.[1] During the five years they were together, the Jug Band successfully modernized the sounds of pre–World War II rural music.
