The Dirty Mother String Band is a powerhouse quartet of dynamic women musicians, united by a love of bawdy blues, early jazz, and string band music. With tight rhythms, fiery solos, and an irreverent spirit, they celebrate the music of the marginalized, especially the bold, subversive songs written by women of the 20s and 30s. Their setlist is a lively mix of vintage gems, cheeky originals, and modern tunes, delivered with grit, humor, and a rebellious heart.
