Red Hot Juba plays Cosmic American music. The band's eclectic mix of songs roots itself in the musical traditions that are distinctly American: Hot Jazz, Blues, Swing, Bluegrass, Country, and a healthy dose of experimentalism and humor that have ensconced itself in the members' approach. With a mix of "familiar songs that you have never heard" and original tunes, the music of Red Hot Juba is an upbeat, toe-tappin' journey into American music.

The members of Red Hot Juba have come together with a wide variety of musical interests, experiences, and explorations.
