 In 1928, Gus Cannon and Cannon s Jug Stompers began recording and playing songs that would go on to influence some of the biggest acts in rock and roll history. By the mid-1930 s they were virtually unheard of. What happened to Gus, and what happened to his music? Chasin  Gus  Ghost is a documentary film on the history of Jug Band Music. It traces the roots of American music beginning with Gus Cannon and Cannon s Jug Stompers, The Memphis Jug Band and the Dixieland Jug Blowers from the 1920 s, and weaves a tapestry through interviews, live performances, archival footage, and photographs showing their influence on the ever-popular folk and rock movements of the 1960 s and its relevance today.
