Eight Gigs: Christmas Jug Band

Sat., Dec. 19, Palms Playhouse, 8 p.m., $20

Christmas Jug Band calls itself “the kings of 100 percent acoustic folk-skiffle-swing holiday high jinks,” and the description couldn’t be any more apropos. For those who like to laugh and drink through the holidays, the Palms Playhouse will be party central for one raucous night. This cast of rotating Bay Area musicians does a handful of shows every year that, thankfully, includes the lost and forgotten town of Winters. Song titles include (but are in no way limited to) “Santa Lost a Ho” and the fan favorite “Rudolph the Bald-Headed Reindeer.” Come get your Christmas drink on. 13 Main Street in Winters, www.christmasjugband.com.
