The WIYOS

The Wiyos -
Vaudevillian Ragtime Blues, Hillbilly Swing and Old Time Country
The old-time spirit of The WIYOS mirrors that of the
medicine shows of the 1920's and 30's, when black
and white musical traditions mixed liberally and
genre distinctions didn't exist between blues and
country, ragtime and gospel, or swing and hillbilly
music. Accordingly, The WIYOS write songs that are
equally influenced by music from the Blue Ridge
Mountains and New York City, mixing the more
urbane sounds of Django Reinhardt, the Gershwin

Patti Plinko and her Boy

An enthralling, passionate and uncompromising performer and writer, Patti has been likened to Jacques Brel, Bjork, Edith Piaf and Nick Cave. Eccentric, brooding satirical songs. Greatly influenced by European cinema, and the satirical underworld of Berlin performance art. Patti will holler, whisper and woo the audience taking them into a dark seductive world of art, sex and death. Arousing chemistry seethes beneath gas masked theatrics, welcome to the world of Dada Noir.
