Hopkinton Weekend Planner Has Music and Movement
Saturday's a special outdoor day at the Hopkinton Y, Amazing Things brings another amazing show. Check out the Elderly Brothers at Pemjamjo. You may know them!
FOLK BLUES WITH JIM KWESKIN
Where/When: Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St., Framingham. Friday April 15 at 8 p.m.
Why Go: Famed 1960s folk revival heroes, the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, parlayed their good-time music at venues from Cambridge coffee houses to the Newport Folk Festival to the psychedelic ballrooms of San Francisco, where they shared billing with the likes of Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Doors. Jim led the band on guitar and vocals, shaping its good-humored mix of old-time folk, jazz, blues, and 1920s and '30s "whoopie music." Although disbanded in 1968, the band is still fondly remembered for its prime performances, albums like the 1965 Vanguard release, Jug Band Music, and for the memorable talents of members like Jim, Geoff Muldaur, Maria Muldaur, and jug/washtub bass virtuoso, the late Fritz Richmond.
