“Five Minutes With” Country Band The Washboard Union

The Washboard Union, composed of step-brothers Aaron Grain, Chris Duncombe and their best friend David John Roberts, have carved their place as one of Canada’s top country bands.

Some of the band’s many successes include over 80 million streams, 330,000 radio spins, three Gold-certified singles in Canada, nine Top 10 hits, and an awe-inspiring 35+ total award wins including JUNO and CCMA Awards.

In 2022, the band played for more than a quarter million concertgoers during the Everbound For Your Town tour and the summer festival season. They were mainstage performers at Cavendish Beach Music Festival, Country Thunder Alberta and Saskatchewan, Big Valley Jamboree, and headliners at both Gone Country festival and RiverFest.

With a new record label partner and a world-class team, The Washboard Union is poised for an incredible 2023, with lots in store for their fans including their highly-anticipated, new single set to be released this Spring.
