George Washingmachine & Quartet
Feeling all strung out Life in a spin Well then let the dreamy music of George Washingmachine wash away the dust of everyday life.
'Will have your feet pumping and your heart thumping' MTV Asia
When it comes to knuckle-busting feats on a violin, George doesn’t play second fiddle to anyone!
From Sydney, George Washingmachine is a genuine entertainer. A violinist who sings, a blues guitarist who is also a visual artist.

Dave Kelbie - Guitar (The Dime Notes, Don Vappie Jazz Creole, Django a la Creole, Fapy Lafertin, The Viper Club, Tcha Limberger)
John Kelly - Guitar (The Already in Berlin Band)
Mark Elton - Bass (fellow Aussie hard swinging bass player from Scott Hamilton’s band)
George Washingmachine
He has played all the major festivals around Australia (including an ambassadorial role at The Clarence Jazz Festival in Hobart) and regularly tours in Europe appearing at festivals in France, Germany, Switzerland & The UK. He’s appeared in Cuba at The Havana International Jazz Festival and is appearing in ‘The Conductor & The Clown’ alongside composer, conductor George Ellis with The Canberra Symphony Orchestra.
Ellis’s follow up the Maestro & The Magician appeared at The Joan Sutherland Centre.
