CONCERT: The Washboard Resonators

8th Sep 2023
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

The Washboard Resonators are a duo that has a full vaudevillian stage show mixing 1920s and 30s blues, jazz, ragtime, and swing.

They combine the influences of their favourite artists like Louis Armstrong, Fred Astaire, George Formby, The Washboard Rhythm Kings and Blind Boy Fuller into something new.

The band has played at major blues and jazz festivals, recorded four albums, an EP at Sun Studios in Memphis, been inducted into the national archive at The British Library, and is touring the UK twice a year to sold-out audiences.
