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’s style of string music inspires audiences to swing, sway and dance” -Nick Diamantides, Ashland Daily Tidings  Make a reservation
