Jim Kweskin & Geoff Muldaur (at Amazing Things)
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.” Geoff Muldaur makes traditional gospel, folk, and blues styles his own, wrapping his polished guitar playing and riveting, otherworldly voice around unusually crafted interpretations of classic, often obscure, American material as well as his own unique compositions. The two will perform solo sets as well as banding together on a number of tunes throughout the night. Don’t miss the chance to see two icons of American traditional music. Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St., Framingham. Tickets: $26 ($23 Members; $25 Students/Seniors)
