www.washboardhank.net A Washboard Hank show will have you laughing and talking about it long after he is gone so don't miss it!
Dirt Road Opera is a Canadian Americana-folk band recognized for their strong vocal harmonies and a unique blend of classic country and prairie melancholy.
Washboard Hank is a legendary entertainer who has played music in every province and territory in Canada. He plays a wide variety of home made and traditional instruments, Stradovarious Washboard, Falopian Tuba, Perfected Kazoo, Guitar, Tenor & 5 string Banjos, and Mandolin. The fact that he is a very well regarded songwriter is obvious as he presents a dynamic set of Roots and Original music that fits together to give a sensation of something both historic and current.
The Wringers feature Hank's sassy foil Sweet Muriel on mandolin, who's antics and unique voice add a whole Popeye and Olive Oil, Johnny and June flavor to the performance. On guitar it's Lance Loree (Uncle Thirsty) an Alberta legend on guitar and armpit farting. Although their birthdays are minutes apart Lance is not Hank's twin brother. Sleepy Jim on Bass is the comic glue, keeping them all together to present music that is uniquely funny and skillful.....It's gonna be BIG FUN!
