What: Dirty Cello @ 826 Valencia Pirate Supply Store
When:
‘Tis the season to hear way too much holiday music!
Join the band Dirty Cello for an evening of wild blues, rock and Americana with absolutely no Christmas music. Give your ears a break from Mariah Carey, and come out for some Zeppelin, Guns and Roses and Rolling Stones.
The band Dirty Cello plays all over the world from Iceland to Singapore and they love the Mendocino coast. Join this world traveling band for a special pop-up show at the Pirate Supply Store - 826 Valencia in SF.
On Dec 17 at 7 pm, Dirty Cello will perform a concert of wild rock and roll, soulful blues and irreverent originals performed with high energy abandon. The group has been described by the L.A. Times as, “The group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn’t make sense but somehow does.”
There will be seats at the show and it will last 1 hour.
Tickets available at the door, but pre-bought tickets preferred.
Tickets are $20 in advance, and $25 at the door. A portion of the proceeds benefits 826 Valencia’s children’s literacy programs.
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 you’ve 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!
“Dirty Cello’s 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 Roudman’s playing—it goes beyond what most people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, you’ll wonder why more bands don’t have a cellist.” Good Times Santa Cruz
