On Saturday, February 6th, at 7:00 PM, Music with a Mission is proud to present a southern Maine favorite:  
Half Moon Jug Band.  
The Half Moon Jug Band started as a merry band of sidewalk subversives entertaining passersby and annoying shopkeepers on Exchange Street in Portland more than 15 years ago. Now, they can now be found on the road playing concerts and festivals all over the northeast.  The band thrives on interaction with their audiences.
For the HMJB, it's not just about standing on stage playing songs. It's about singing, dancing and making people happy. They do whatever it takes to put on a show for all ages, studding every performance with jokes, stories and mandatory sing-alongs.
 
N o one gets out without singing. No one.
