Longtime Portland folk troubadours Chris "Zydeco Skeeter" Miskow and Pat Buckley have revived the band they originally founded back in 1993. The Pagan Jug Band's current incarnation features an all-acoustic lineup of banjo, dobro, accordion, blues harmonica, guitar, upright bass and percussion, deftly mixing straight-ahead bluegrass, folk and country blues, and Louisiana Zydeco. The material is drawn from a variety of classic country, folk and roots sources, along with a large body of original songs.

Some incarnation of the Pagan Jug Band has been around since 1993.  The band has evolved over the years, but the philosophy of the two founding members that still remain in the band (Chris Miskow & Patrick Buckley) has not changed at all:  play music that you love and you will be happy playing music!

The Pagan Jug Band plays around Portland at various local music spots and over the years has played at various local music festivals like Pickathon and the Oregon Country Fair.  Chances are if you see them playing around town they will have an old friend sitting in with them for a few songs here and there, or maybe just a fan from the audience who happened to bring an interesting instrument with them.  The Pagan Jug Band loves playing with new people and playing in new places.
