TRASHCAN JOE
From humble beginnings as a vaudeville act for Mz Kitty's Parlour, the Trashcanjo and its eclectic band of merrymaking followers has brought their home-made vintage jazz and theatrics to audiences young and old, near and far.
Adored by Oregon’s swing dance community and lovers of sweet story told through song, Trashcan Joe features the original songs of one of Portland’s most undersung songwriting heroes, Captain James Cook(vocals/trashcanjo), as well as compositions from ace band members Mike Danner (vocals/accordion), Matty Voth(vocals/washtub bass), and Jason Wells(vocals/coronet). The fantastic Jen Forti (washboard/vocals) rounds out this stellar lineup, who collectively make up Portland’s finest purveyors of hand-crafted sound.
Come celebrate the 20 year journey of these hometown minstrels, from the early days up to the present. Many former members will join along the way, and the fabulous Mz. Kitty will MC the event.
