Lorenzo is the Founder & Curator of Jefferson Street Sound Museum (JSSM). His passion for family and community are the catalyst for his life journey, which encompasses an array of entrepreneurial ventures.

In the early 1970s, Washington embraced his passion for music by founding Soul Shack Records and Boutique. In 1976, he partnered with Moses Dillard and Jesse Boyce from Dillard & Boyce Productions, which was originally located on Nashville’s Music Row. The trio released a single entitled “Come on Dance” by the Saturday Night Band that reached #2 on the charts.

Washington turned his passion of preserving “back in the day” music into the Jefferson Street Sound Museum. The JSS museum is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that bridges historical preservation, and an impact on today’s music and entertainment with a full-service recording studio.
