From China to Italy, and all over the U.S., Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues and bluegrass. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like youve never heard before. From down home blues with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin bluegrass, Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping!

When lead guitar is replaced by the sound of hot licks on a cello, blues, rock and bluegrass rise to a new dimension. Dirty Cello a four-piece band from San Francisco makes its style of string music to inspire audiences to swing, sway and dance. Nick Diamantides, Ashland Daily Tidings.

"Dirty Cellos music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical." Lou Fancher, Oakland Magazine.

"The band plays every style imaginable, and does some fantastic covers. (Their rendition of Purple Haze is incredible.) But what is most spectacular about them is hearing the depth of soul in Roudmans playingit goes beyond what most people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, youll wonder why more bands dont have a cellist." Good Times Santa Cruz

"A four-piece string ensemble that truly pushes the envelope and breaks the barriers, they blend blues, bluegrass and world music sounds with roots in the world of European classical music in a style that is unique and refreshing." Cloverdale Reveille

"The group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn't make sense but somehow does." LA Times
