Washington Reed is the upcoming unsigned Blues Rock band from Chester. The band produces a cocktail of heart pulsing guitar riffs and foot stomping drums with the passion to create an energetic atmosphere, leaving an aftertaste for more!

Behind the kit we have Tom Kerr. Heavily inspired by simplistic but captivating drum grooves, Tom has taken inspiration from the likes of; The Dead Weather, Queens Of The Stoneage, Benny Greb, Led Zeppelin. 

The front-man James Martin has a lot to show you. Taking his inspiration from guitar gurus such as; Chuck Berry, BB King, John Lee Hooker & Dan Auerback. His vocals are enriched with aspects of Soul, Jazz & Blues. James' personal sound has been described as "Gravel wrapped in velvet". 

Washington Reed are currently working on the debut e.p 'Take Me Home' with Mel Haigh who previously worked with WR on Money the debut single. Money the debut single released February 2014 has set the ball rolling for the band with recent airplay on BBC Radio Introducing Stoke and BBC Radio Two on Dermot O'learys Saturday show. High praise has also come regarding their home made stylistic music video on Youtube. During this time WR are regularly playing between Chester, Manchester & Liverpool – check out the website www.washingtonreed.com for band news & gig dates.

2014 is going to be a big year for the duo.
