Formed in Winnipeg in 1964, The Electric Jug & Blues Band grew out of the Down-To-Earthen-Ware Jugband who many times shared the stage at The Fourth Dimension Coffee House with fellow Winnipeger Neil Young. The band opened for the Monkees on one concert bill and performed at Expo '67 in Montreal.
The band had one single in 1969 on Franklin Records called "You Don't Love Me" b/w "The Family Breakdown" produced by Ron Paley. The band split up the same year.
Bruce Decker had a short stint with The Guess Who having jumped from Winnipeg's Deverons along with Burton Cummings. He died in a car crash at the age of 40; Dennis Faraci works at the University of Manitoba; Don MacGillivray is a freelance writer living in London, England; Wheaton is now a Professor at the University of Toronto's Sociology Dept.; Ray Lovell lives in British Columbia; Grant Boden lives in Scotsdale, Arizona and is a landscape designer for the luxury home market.
