The Washboard Union have had 4 Top 20 singles and 3 top 10 hits in the last year, both from their recent In My Bones EP, and a hit single from their forthcoming album with Warner Music Canada. Their smash hit single “Shot of Glory” became certified gold in September 2017, marking the hard work and passion they bring to their role in Canadian country music.

The Washboard Union have shared the stage with Zac Brown Band, Keith Urban, The Band Perry, Toby Keith, Jason Aldean, Old Dominion, Reba McEntire, and were invited to tour Canada with the legendary Dwight Yoakam.
