Originally from New York, Chaz lived in Boulder, CO for most of his life, and has played with a variety of bands. In 2000, Chaz arrived in New Orleans and immediately established himself as a seasoned musician and formed the Washboard Chaz Blues Trio. As a performer, Chaz has achieved international recognition in acoustic country blues. When he is not performing on stage, he enjoys working with children and adults in percussion workshops.
The washboard is a staple of New Orleans music and we knew we couldn't leave town without recording the best. We met Chaz through Roberto Luti, who played slide guitar in his trio, and recorded him outside the Spotted Cat where he performs regularly.
