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