Washboard Resonators
Described as "Ragtime Street Band meets Hollywood Musical on a theatre stage somewhere around 1932". 'Technically brilliant, a full set of foot-stomping anthems'
'The future of 1930s Blues and Ragtime is in safe hands' – Rootstime.be
'Technically brilliant, a full set of foot-stomping anthems' – Afterdark.com
The bands favourite performers include the jazz, ragtime, hokum, blues, comedy and vaudeville sounds of Louis Armstrong, Blind Boy Fuller, Fred Astaire, The Washboard Rhythm Kings, Robert Johnson, Gene Krupa, Max Miller, George Formby, Tampa Red and The Memphis Jug Band.
The spirit of these long gone artists and their music is summoned back to life every time Martyn and Jack take the stage with their mixture of old traditional songs and new songs written by the band.
After the release of an EP and 3 albums of original music, they have completed several successful UK tours over the last few years.
