Artist description Washko's music is built upon a unique guitar style developed without any formal training on the instrument; it combines a rhythmic, propulsive foundation with simultaneous melodic lines and riffs providing a musical "second voice" to complement his vocals. The result is a rootsy, powerful sound with a wide variety of styles, rhythms, and moods.

Music Style Folk/Rock/Pop

Artist History The roots of "going somewhere" actually extend back to the day Washko left his native Nashville for New Orleans. He is quick to admit to a certain amount of small-town-boy shock upon arrival in the Big Easy; his deep musical background included years of playing the violin and the trumpet, but the musical explosion that is New Orleans was overwhelming. The eclectic, potent mix of people, lifestyles, and images in the city also released a previously undiscovered enjoyment of writing, specifically poetry.
