DIRTY RED & THE SOUL SHAKERS LIVE! at the REAR WINDOW!
Dirty Red and the Soul Shakers will be bluesin' it up at the Rear Window for the first time on Friday, May 17!
Dirty Red & The SoulShakers are a modern day powerhouse blues band, built on old -school influences, and a mutual love for the down and dirty style blues that has come to define the bands original sound. A dangerously tight rhythm section backs a funky shake your money maker groove guaranteed, to get the ladies dancing and the good times flowing. Add a lone weeping guitar, blues harmonica and soul filled vocals and everybodys in trouble.
In January 2018, Dirty Red & The SoulShakers represented Oklahoma at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. They made it into the semi-finals.

Eric has appeared on recordings with Miss Blues and The Blue Notes, Old Gray Mule, Rickett Pass and Cedric Burnside as well as writing and co-producing the bands debut CD, Soul Shakin.
