Jefferson Washington One Man Band from San Diego, CA

Jefferson Washington showcases a blend of American roots style music with themes of love, loss, travel, and mysticism through a dark complexion of foot stompin story tellin'. He provides styles from delta blues slide guitar and grit to finger pickin folk ballads and everything in between. Washington plays solo, as a duo, or w/ a 4 piece band. "While others are sitting around copying the no-talent, paint-by-number pop rock of their peers, Jefferson Washington creates something new while honoring the style and sound of the Mississippi Delta Blues. Inspired by classic musicians, such as Skip James and Son House, Mr. Washington and the rest of his band perform music that gives me faith in the fact that Blues is still very much alive. Their dedication to the fundamental roots of where all modern day music originated from, along with their own twist to the style makes them shine a light that few others are willing and able to hold. I urge you to pour yourself a healthy glass of moonshine, sit back, and listen to the music of Jefferson Washington. Music that would make the likes of Robert Randolph proud.
