Bill Carney's Jug Addicts: Jazz Musician in New York

About Bill Carney's Jug Addicts

Bill Carney’s Jug Addicts is a New York City–based jazz project heard in small-room settings such as Barbès, where the group presents the set billed as “Bill Carney’s Jug Addicts.” Carney works in the tradition of early jazz and jug-band instrumentation, folding those textures into a contemporary club context. The ensemble’s approach is built on ensemble interplay and rhythmic drive rather than studio polish. Their performances favor directness over spectacle, letting the arrangements and time feel carry the night.
