I am sure there are some appearances i have left out.

 

[Harvey Towers]

Jerry appears in the Heather Locklear episode of Muppets Tonight in the song "There's An Awful Lot of Coffee In Brazil" as a bartender but I think he may be referred to as another name.

I mentioned that appearance.

anyway, anybody who has answers are welcome to help. I mentioned a few appearances by them as a group but didn't list individually because i hadn't seen them (I haven't seen "a horse named bill" or the Johnny Cash episode, so I am not sure if anybody is missing. I have also only seen pictures from the roy clark episode, and assume that those are from the "rocky top" song. I also haven't seen the bernedette peters episode in a long time, so each individual character listing is based on the picture in the Muppet Central episode guide.). I know that members are occassionally missing from jugband numbers. For example, zeke didn't appear in the steve martin episode (their first appearance), and lou didn't appear in the gene kelley episode.

 

[Philip Kippel]

Here's a couple of appearances to add:

Gramps:
Cheryl Ladd: he appears briefly in the opening number "True Love"

Lou:
Kenny Rogers: she sings in the background in Kenny's closing number "Love Lifted Me" and appears in the goodnights

yeah, I meant to say that she was somewhere in the kenny rogers episode, not the arlo gutherie episode, although I wouldn't be surprised if she was in both episodes.

 

[Xerus]

I think the Jughuggers made an appearance in the Roger Miller episode where they all got turned into chickens. There was an all chicken jugband playing with Roger and the head rooster sounded a lot like the leader. And one of the chickens was wearing black sunglasses, just like that bearded guy.

I believe that that band was the Electric Mayhem turned into chickens, since the one that you said was wearing black sunglasses are actually blinking eyes like Floyd's.

Actually, I'm talking about that yellow bearded guy who was part of the Jughuggers. Didn't he have black blinking eyes too?

No. He just had black sunglasses.

he wore regular sunglasses. His actual eyes can be seen in John Denver and the Muppets: Rocky Mountain Holiday. His name is Zeke.

if you, or any others, are wondering the names of the other jugband members...

Lobbock Lou is the guy with the shaggy black beard who played mouth harp.
Jerry is the guitar player who is normally the lead singer (in songs such as somebody stole my gal, borneo, take 'em away, and henriettas wedding). he was called slim wilson in the episode with roy rogers and dale evans, and according to the muppet central guides, he was called "Jed" in the script for the julie andrews episode.
Gramps is obviously the old man who played the fiddle.
Bubba is the guy with brown hair who blew a jug.
Lou is the female in the jugband.
