I haven't heard the phrase "jug hooters" before but I'm already caught off-guard by this being the correct context for it to fit into.

It's a reference to people blowing across the opening of empty/partially filled jugs to make music in jug bands, it's an improvised instrument in USAmerican folk music along with spoons, stove pipe, washboard, washtub base, and a comb with paper.
