About Us
What do Doo Wop, Christian, Country, Pop, Classic Rock and TV jingles have in common? The Jukes!
Where in the World did The Jukes come from?
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a local cultural arts activities superintendent, Pat Alford, was looking for a 50’s and 60’s music group to provide entertainment at the West TN State Fair. That original group was named The Jukes of Earl. Over 25 years have passed and some talented musicians have passed in and out over the course of The Jukes timeline. The current cast is excited to pick up the music again after a brief 10-year hiatus and looks forward to singing for fans whenever and wherever.
Brad Little
Voice Part: Baritone
As the only member raised solely in Jackson, TN, Brad has been involved in music and stage performance all of his life. With West TN family connections in music and film, from “Cousin Tuny” and The Fabulous Delacardos, being an entertainer is in his blood. He even goes so far as to say that a cappella music has been his favorite form of music since birth. Brad has even dipped his toe in theatre, appearing in a Jackson performance of ‘Bye, Bye Birdie.’ When Brad is not telling jokes, coordinating Jukes shows or serving as a celebrity dance competition judge, he advises individuals as they manage finances and retirement accounts. One of Brad’s favorite songs to perform with The Jukes is “For The Longest Time”.
