Time for the 8th Annual National Jug Band Jubilee! The 8th Annual National Jug Band Jubilee is coming to the Brown-Forman Amphitheater in Waterfront Park on Saturday, September 15th, from noon - 11 pm. This free, all-day festival celebrates a pre-jazz style made popular in the early 1900s by Louisville musicians like Clifford Hayes, Earl McDonald, and Sarah Martin. In the late 19th century, African American musicians walked the streets of the River City playing tunes on improvised instruments like empty liquor jugs ("the poor man’s tuba"), kazoos, and washboards. By the time the sound reached its peak in the 1930s, it had infiltrated towns up and down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, especially Memphis and New Orleans. Jug music also inspired the skiffle craze in England, which gave rise to bands like the Beatles and the Lovin’ Spoonful. The National Jug Band Jubilee draws musicians from all over the country. The 2012 line-up includes: The Crow Quill Night Owls – Port Townsend, WA The Cincinnati Dancing Pigs – Cincinnati, OH The Juggernaut Jug Band – Louisville, KY Stalebread Scottie & Blind Boy Chocolate – Asheville, NC Jackson Street Polecats – Oshkosh, WI The Hot Seats – Richmond, VA The Jake Leg Stompers – Murfreesboro, TN Woody Pines – Nashville, TN The How Long Jug Band – Portland, OR The festival will also include food vendors, a beer and wine booth, and a number of workshops for adults and children. Education is another important component of the National Jug Band Jubilee’s mission. For the second year in a row, the Jubilee will partner with Jefferson County Public Schools to have jug bands entertain children on the Friday prior to the festival. The 8th Annual National Jug Band Jubilee is proudly celebrates the legacy of jug music and its Louisville origins. Festival gates open at noon Saturday and bands play from 1 -11 pm. The open-air Brown-Forman Amphitheater is located immediately east of the Tumbleweed Restaurant on River Road. No pets, coolers, or outside alcohol permitted inside the festival. This event takes place rain or shine! Oh, and did we mention that this is a free festival? That’s right – FREE!

“Urban Bourbon” at the Kentucky Derby Museum All bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon….do you know why? If not, the “Urban Bourbon” exhibit currently being promoted by the Kentucky Derby Museum offers the opportunity to discover the answer, along with other new and interesting tidbits about Kentucky’s traditional drink. Held at the Kentucky Derby Museum, the exhibition explores the parallel development of Kentucky’s bourbon and horse-racing industries throughout the state’s history. A celebration of heritage and tradition, the exhibit also embraces the future through the utilization of interactive, multi-media displays, such as an electronic “menu” that, when used to “order,” will play short informational videos while being overseen by a virtual bartender. Of course, not all the information being provided is theoretical. The exhibit also offers the ability for patrons to test their sniffing and tasting abilities, as well as tips on how to get the most out of a bourbon sampling. Following that, guests can put their new-found knowledge to the test at the Derby Café, which boasts the impressive “Donerail” shot—a 12-inch tall shot of their signature bourbon. The Kentucky Derby Museum is also a stop on the state’s Bourbon Trail, so a visit to the “Urban Bourbon” exhibit also nets you a stamp in your bourbon trail passport. Continuing through the end of the year, the “Urban Bourbon” exhibit is available with purchase of a ticket to the Kentucky Derby Museum ($6—$14, with discounts available). Hours are Monday—Saturday 8 am to 5 pm, Sunday 11 am to 5 pm. For more information call 502-637-7097. whigl.com | Your Guide to Louisville Since 1951 | September 5 - September 18, 2012 WHiGL 15

Hadley Pottery - Handcrafted American Pottery Hadley Pottery - maker of fine, hand-crafted stoneware - has been producing iconic pottery for nearly 70 years. Inspired by the designs of renowned artist, Mary Alice Hadley, the pottery is an American classic, cherished by everyday users, enthusiasts and serious collectors across the United States and around the world. What distinguishes Hadley from all other pottery and what has created a long and loyal following is the originality and charm of the decoration. Often described as simple, whimsical and warm, the handpainted Hadley designs are remarkable in their ability to capture the essence and emotion of a time, a place, or a memory. Hadley stoneware is durable. Made from clay native to Kentucky and Indiana, the stoneware is painted, glazed and then kiln-fired at 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, making it highly resistant to chipping and scratching. It is lead-free and oven, microwave, and dishwasher-safe. Hadley stoneware is made in small batches in an historic building in Louisville. Each handcrafted piece is signed by an artist trained by a protégé of Mary Alice Hadley. The hand-painted signature is the mark of genuine Hadley stoneware. Early in 1940, Mary Alice Hadley, a respected watercolorist, painter, and muralist, applied her talents to the creation of a custom set of dishes for her family's cruiser on the Ohio River. The daughter of a building tile manufacturer in Terra Haute, Indiana, painting on clay was a natural extension of her artistic ability. So many guests on the Hadley's boat praised her painted dishes and made requests for similar pieces that a new career was born. Orders for her pottery came streaming in and by 1945 a new business was founded. Hadley stoneware was soon widely circulated throughout the nation. Since its serendipitous beginning in 1940, Mary Alice Hadley's unique vision and style has been widely imitated. But her original spirit and creative energy is still alive in the historic pottery on Story Avenue. Artists trained by protégés of Mary Alice Hadley still continue the tradition of creating pottery that evokes wit, whimsy, and warmth. Hadley Pottery is located at 1570 Story Avenue, which is easily accessible from Interstates I-64, I-65, and I-71. Store hours are Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm, and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. For more information call 502-584-2171 or toll-free 866-584-2171. Check out the new website at www.hadleypottery.com or become a fan on Facebook.
