Roots, rag & jug

S
ometimes using the name Veronica & The Red Wine Serenaders, sometimes just Max & Veronica, Veronica Sbergia & Max De Bernardi (according to a confidential source, his nickname would be Droopy !) describe their repertoire on their Web site as “an irresistible blend of rural music from the 20’s and 30’s  : country blues, ragtime, hokum, jug band, vaudeville music and hillbilly, played using strictly acoustic instruments such ukuleles, washboard, kazoo, double bass and guitars” (*). They devote themselves to “keeping this precious musical heritage alive, faithfully reproducing its original sound whilst playing it with a modern twist” (*). This is a perfect definition of the music offered by this Italian duo from Milano.
