'''The Woodbox Gang''' is a band formerly based in Herod, Illinois, then out of [[Makanda, Illinois]]. They play an eclectic, unique style of [[bluegrass music]] labeled by some as "insurgent Americana," "jug-punk," "y'allternative," and "funk-a-billy;" though they prefer the terms "caustic acoustic" and "trashcan Americana" (also the name of one of their albums).

They portray pure musical talent through an array of instruments, with a sound that is almost "to good to be true".

They play an eclectic style of bluegrass music labeled by some as "insurgent Americana," "jug-punk," "y'allternative," and "funk-a-billy," though they prefer the terms "caustic acoustic" and "trashcan Americana" (also the name of one of their albums).

The band originated as the trio of dobro player Brad Bolin and the brothers Hugh (guitar, kazoo, and vocals) and Brian (bass) DeNeal in 1999.
