The Even Dozen Jug Band was founded in 1963 by Stefan Grossman (solo country blues and ragtime guitarist) and Peter Siegel (old-timey guitarist and producer) in New York. Other members were David Grisman (noted bluegrass/newgrass mandolinist), Steve Katz (later with Blood, Sweat and Tears and Blues Project), Maria Muldaur (then Maria d'Amato), Joshua Rifkin (arranger of Scott Joplin Ragtimes), and John Sebastian (later with the Lovin' Spoonful and now a solo artist).
