A four piece outfit hailing from the Star City, Roanoke, Virginia. Named after the original Roanoke Jug Band. Primitive vocal harmonies are backed by differing combinations of instruments including: washboard, jug, guitar, banjo, upright bass, harmonica, kazoo and more. The boys in the NRJB don't seek to recreate the records of their heroes, nor do they modernize the material. They play as if it was 80 years ago, using the sounds of American Roots Music to convey their huge repertoire of songs. From 2000 to 2007. In 2007 founding member Jay Griffin decided to retire from performing. Other members went to form the band: Rootstone Jug Band.
