Washtub Jerry

washtubThe farther you live from what some people consider civilization, the more self reliant and innovative you have to be.  You have to admire a guy who enters a field and actually creates his own genre by making  a musical instrument with which to conquer a niche that any other mortal is afraid to even challenge.  That is exactly what Washtub Jerry has done.  He is the only “tub-bass” player in the field of cowboy entertainment today.   Not only that, he may very well be the hardest working man in the business.  Go to any show where Washtub is performing and you’ll find performers lined up to get him to play backup bass for them.  I have yet to see him turn one of them down.  In addition, he understands more about music theory than any music teacher I know and can illustrate it to you on his unique instrument with the skill of a philharmonic surgeon.  And, to top it off,  Wash was named "1999 Instrumentalist of the Year" by theWestern Music Association.
