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.“
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

„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
