Filthy McWhiskey - banjo, guitar, melodica, bouzouki, lap steel, violin, percussion, and your girlfriend.

Originating from the high mountains of the Great West, The Filthy Whipple Medicine Show has been bringing music and medicine to the weary and downtrodden people of the world. Carrying on the great tradition is J.P. Whipple, a homeless and barefoot vagabond who performs heartlifting songs about drunkeness, losing women, extreme poverty and other typical American tales on his accordion, banjo, dobro, and drums. As a soloist, Mr. Whipple has released several American Roots albums. He was proclaimed Salt Lake City's New Blues Hope by the City Weekly in 2002. He became the top selling artist for Rustic Records in 2004 with The Last Cold One. He has toured extensively in the Western United States and through Europe. His latest album, Bible Milk, is receiving acclaim in both Europe and the United States and features members of the Filthy Whipple Medicine Show. Besides being a musician, Mr. Whipple has authored two novels, produces videos, and paints to distract himself from the harsh realities of an artist's life. (more about J.P. Whipple)

Joining Mr. Whipple is Filthy McWhiskey who according to gypsy psychic, Madame Shevchenko, is a reincarnation of a cannibal goat who seduced a Romanian princess and later enjoyed a life of luxury, politics, and lamb chops. Regardless of origins, Filthy McWhiskey is here now to relieve you burden of having too much alcohol all the while performing stunning tricks on his various banjos and guitars. An original member of the SLC Punk scene, McWhiskey has developed an extensive interest in the music of the Balkans, Romani (gypsy), and of the Middle East. His flair for the evocative scales of Eurasia is what gives The Filthy Whipple Medicine its unique flavor. |
