..... Doc Mehl

When they combine forces, you won't find a more entertaining duo than "Doc & Tub."  Washtub Jerry is a recognized authority for building and playing the washtub bass.  In 1999, he was named “Instrumentalist of the Year” by the Western Music Association.  When he's not playing with Doc Mehl, Washtub has performed with Patsy Montana, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Riders In The Sky, Peter Yarrow, Johnny Gimble, and yes, Don, Waddie, Red, and R.W. (plus hundreds of other musicians).  He is a member of the International Society of Bassists, performed at the Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri for five seasons, was the featured musician with the Midland-Odessa Symphony Orchestra, and participated in musical cultural exchange tours in Russia, Germany, and Ireland.  Washtub has published two books, one about his four decades of playing the washtub bass, and the other an instruction book on rhythm ukulele.  (Yes, it's true, he can play the ukulele and the washtub bass at the same time!)

 You'll find Washtub Jerry featured on the album "I'd Rather Be..." along with harmonicologist Eric Christiansen.  And you'll find "Doc and Tub" ready to perform at your next big event.  "Doc & Tub" will send folks home with a smile on their faces and a song in their hearts.  But if you're booking "Doc & Tub," allow for plenty of advanced notice, because both Doc and Washtub can get pretty busy back at the homestead. 

You can preview "Doc & Tub" in performance by clicking on the video link to their "YouTube" promotional video for Eldorado Canyon State Park in Colorado (shown below).  You may have missed the show in the park, but don't miss this entertaining duo the next time they come to your town!
