Half Moon Jug Band in the McLaughlin Barn
Thursday Night in the Garden – presented by Oxford Federal Credit Union
We are thrilled to welcome Troy Bennett and the Half Moon Jug Band to the Mclaughlin Garden on Thursday, July 2nd at 6:00pm.
The band thrives on interaction with audiences and their performances are about singing, dancing and making people happy. Every performance is filled with jokes, stories and mandatory sing-alongs.
Before you ask: There’s no jug. It’s implied. Jug band music is the homemade music friends make sitting ’round the kitchen table. If it sounds fun, if the audience claps in time, if it feels honest, then it’s jug band music.
The Half Moon Jug Band started as a merry band of sidewalk subversives entertaining passersby on Exchange Street in Portland, Maine 25 years ago with banjos, guitars, kazoos and drums. Now, the band can be found on the road playing concerts and festivals all over the northeast, and they make frequent appearances on television and radio including WCSH’s “207,” WGME’s “Daybreak,” WPFO’s “Good Day Maine,” WMPG’s “Local Motives” and WCTN’s “Shine.”
Thursday, July 2, 2026. Doors open at 5:00 PM; music begins at 6:00pm
Tickets will be available at the door: $10.00 per person ($5.00 for children 13 and under).
If you’d like to purchase your tickets in advance, please visit the Garden Gift Shop Tuesday through Sunday (10am – 4pm) or call us 207-743-8820.
