Washboard music is a style of folk music that originated in the early 20th century in the American South. It is characterized by the use of a washboard as a percussion instrument, often accompanied by a jug, harmonica, guitar, banjo, and other instruments. The washboard is played by rubbing a metal thimble or a spoon against the ridges of the board, creating a rhythmic sound. Washboard music is often associated with jug bands, blues, and early country music.
