I’ll point out right off the bat that I’m not a fan of the music that Whiskey Shivers is playing. Anyway, in this video washboardiste Joe Deuce looks like he’s playing harder than anyone has ever played the board. He has it laid flat in front of him on a snare stand in la mode à la française, and he’s playing a train beat on it with brushes at about a mile a minute. He also interjects the occasional rebel yell here and there. I can’t imagine how he could keep that kind of tempo up throughout an entire night, but he’s young, and young people can do things like that.
What a bullshit article. You must be old because old people write things like this. Do yourself a favor Mr. Old Modern Washboardman and go check out the Whiskey Shivers next show near you. Mile a minute all the way through the show, yep.
Thanks for stopping by!
