artist The Hung Jury

The Hung Jury is a roots inspired band on Canada's dusty highway with a unique style of original Tcountry music, equally inspired by Hank Williams and Johnny Cash as they are by Motley Crue and Motorhead. Hailing from the Windsor, Ontario - Detroit, Michigan area, the Hung Jury comes from the home of 1950's rockabilly star Jack Scott as well as Elliott Brood, Sunparlour Players, Ron Leary, The Locusts Have No King and Kelly 'Mr. Chill' Hoppe.

They have slowly become one of Windsor's favourite live draws, with great audience response and a slew of Jury fans. Over the past year, The Hung Jury have secured some impressive opening slots with such bands as Cuff The Duke, Mr. Chill & The Witnesses (the new roots band fronted by "Mr. Chill" Kelly Hoppe, formerly of Big Sugar), The Awkward Stage, Twilight Hotel, Karyn Ellis, Oldseed, Trole, and Ron Leary. They were also selected to take part in the first Harvesting The FAM Festival at the University of Windsor in January 2007. In early February 2007, The Hung Jury was featured on Sook-Yin Lee's nationally broadcast radio program Definitely Not The Opera on CBC Radio 1.

A little bit of country, a little bit rock and roll. A whole lotta whiskey...
