The Wiyos began as mythically as their namesake, the toughest street gang to grace the streets of old New York. Rooted in vintage American musical traditions the music and dynamic performances style of The Wiyos takes a new generation of listeners back to a time before genre distinctions separated blues and country, ragtime and gospel, swing and hillbilly music. The Wiyos are equally at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the clubs of New York; likewise their original compositions draw from the urbane sounds of Django Reinhardt, the Gershwin Brothers and Fats Waller, as well as the country styles of Gary Davis, Skip James and Doc Watson.
This fantastic three piece band featuring upright bass, guitar, washboard, harmonica and kazoo will wow you with their energetic performances and polished renditions of unpolished songs. Don't pass up this opportunity to hear them play.
