This month’s show features local electric blues band Bad Juju in a special acoustic performance. Bad Juju is all about good old fashioned, shoot-from-the-hip blues, rhythm & blues, and soul. They claim to never play a song the same, but also point out that’s what keeps it interesting and energized. Typically a bar band, they were offered the opportunity to play the Delmarva Folk Festival in 2017, under the condition that they had to play acoustic guitars. They accepted the challenge and discovered a whole new way to do their music. Their night was made when they realized the audience was actually listening. They asked for another chance and we are glad to welcome them for another acoustic performance in a great venue.
