Formed in the summer of 2002, Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra is a unique liberation of a lost style of music. TPJHO fuses ragtime, blues, folk, country, bluegrass and rock & roll to produce the traditional jug band sound with a knee-slapping twist to produce a truly original experience.
The Hillbilly Orchestra has decided to share their sound with the world; and the public response has been an overwhelming inspiration. The bands Americana influences can be heard in many of the arrangements of stylish covers. Since their huge success of the bands first public performance in November of 2004, there has been an explosion of creative devotion. TPJHO has begun producing a number of original songs that stay the course of traditional style.
Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra is a family. Most of the members have been close friends for over a decade with musical résumés ranging from beginners to 15 year veterans.
Recently, TPJHO has expanded the family looking into local talent to add even more traditional instruments into the already eclectic mix.
Thunderpants Johnson's Hillbilly Orchestra shows turn a banjo, mandolin, 2 acoustic guitars, harmonica, washboard, washtub and of course an old moonshine jug into a magical burst of beer swigging, foot stomping hell of a good time. |
