Krannert Center and Fox/Adkins present... The South Austin Jug Band has a sound that melds finger-picking bluegrass with a bit of rock bass, some driving electric guitar, the occasional surprise of digital looping—and no jug player. The dueling fiddles on sweet melancholy ballads like “Come to Me” season saucier instrumentals like “Po’ Boys in the Glovebox,” and you’re sure to love the upbeat covers from diverse artists like Beck, from whom the band’s gleaned the title for its latest release, Strange Invitation. Opening act Kayla Brown begins at 6:30pm
