Doors open at 7 p.m.

Proudly hailing from the musically rich foothills of Cleveland County (Shelby, NC), Dirty Grass Soul has been entertaining audiences across the Carolinas and beyond since their formation in 2011. With a sound that draws much influence from traditional music of the North Carolina foothills, Dirty Grass Soul manages to bring a new, refreshed, and re-energized sound to their music that falls somewhere between country, bluegrass, and southern rock & roll reminiscent of acts like The Charlie Daniels Band and The Marshall Tucker Band. Rather than simply relying on heavy guitar leads, Dirty Grass Soul offers instrumentation that mixes in a heavy dose of fiddle, pedal steel guitar, and banjo in addition to the guitar. DGS is lead by founding members Kevin Dedmon (Fiddle, Vocals, Guitar) and Lance Watson (Bass). They are joined by Tommy Smith (Electric Guitar), Dedmon's brother Kris Dedmon (Banjo, Vocals), and Alex Sims (Drums).
After touring primarily in the Carolinas behind their self-released albums “Soul'd Out: Live at the Don Gibson Theatre” "The Long Way" and "New Day of Work" DGS has gradually expanded their touring circle over the recent years and that has earned them a reputation as one of the southeast's emerging Southern Rock/Alt. Country bands.
Whether it is the hint of bluegrass, outlaw country, or rock & roll you hear in each song, their sound is uniquely Dirty Grass Soul. From Dedmon's down home/working class lyrics to their blazing instrumental breaks, Dirty Grass Soul is sure to offer a little something for everyone.
