In a city where musical institutions abound, ‘Washboard’ Hank Fisher remains in a league of his own, his over-the-top persona, and his performance and songwriting talent, combining to make him truly one-of-a-kind.
This Sunday (November 3rd) will see Washboard celebrate his 70th birthday at The Pig’s Ear Tavern, one of his favourite pub haunts.
From 3 to 7 p.m., a number of musical guests will join the party that will feature a performance by Washboard Hank and The Wringers. Washboard says a sure highlight for him promises to be renditions of his songs delivered by his musical friends.
