Upbeat mountainbilly folk, trashy haunted punk blues, and foot stomping rag Americana.

Buckets. Singing Saw. Coronet. Slide Whistle.

Sweet Jessup & The Dirty Buckets have one trashy jam sound. Literally, the percussionist plays old used buckets and thrift store treasures. Bluesy, groovy, folksy, clanky, and dancy, Sweet Jessup draws inspiration from American root blues, folk, and ragtime traditions. We play all original songs that are catchy, fun, and upbeat. Come out to dance with us!
