About The Family Wash

The Family Wash hail from Liverpool UK. The story goes that in 2019 JD Wash was holidaying in Nashville TN. One hot spring day on the recommendation of a musician friend who'd been in Nashville only months before, JD and his wife took a walk hoping to find some Shepherd's Pie, a cool beer, and some fine country music at a bar called The Family Wash, only to find it had closed down!

Despite this disappointment, JD resolved to preserve the name of The Family Wash and form a country music / americana collective. Duly inspired he wrote a dozen or so songs influenced by what he'd been hearing including Johnny, Luke, Jimmy, Kacey, Taylor and KT.

JD went back home to Liverpool and made some calls to his Wash cousins and the excitement grew. Finally in the midst of a pandemic half the songs were taken to the studio and the rest recorded remotely in various home studios. Mixed at Crosstown Studios in Liverpool and mastered by Pete Maher we felt that we had a long playing record of which the family are truly proud.

The 'Dirty Laundry' LP was released on vinyl and digital platforms on the 26th May 2023. The country rock song 'I'll bring the stars to you' is the first single and the album opener released on the 7th April 2023. 

The album launch took place at on the 25th May 2023 at Prohibition Recording Studios in Liverpool which was a blast. A lovely crowd showed their appreciation to the artists Paul Dunbar and Naomi Campbell who played a mix of their own songs and The Family Wash songs. The final set was of songs duets from the album and the final song I'll see you in Jackson was just amazing and had the audience enthralled. Thank you to all those that attended and those that bought the album.
