An Evening of Songs and Silliness

If you have not witnessed the musical and comedy antics of Peterborough’s Washboard Hank, then mark you calendar for May 31 at UpFront Cafe. Performing alongside Hank will be his stage partner, wife and muse, Sweet Muriel.

These two are a very entertaining Country Roots duo who make people laugh and feel good wherever they play. Sweet Muriel is a June Carter to Hank’s Johnny Cash; together they present music that is uniquely funny and skillful.

Washboard Hank is a legendary entertainer who has played music in every province and territory in Canada on a wide variety of home made and traditional instruments: Stradovarious Washboard, Falopian Tuba, Perfected Kazoo, Guitar, Tenor & 5 string Banjos, and Mandolin.

Sweet Muriel, a dancer/choreographer has channeled these skills into a music career. Her incredible stage presence and totally unique voice along with her mandolin and tenor banjo playing are a perfect addition to a show that is truly unforgettably entertaining.

Showtime is 7:30pm at UpFront Cafe, 313 Front Street in downtown Belleville (www.upfrontcafe.ca). Tickets are $20 and available from www.universe.com/washboard0525 or call 613 849 1976
