MEET THE BAND

About

Bred from an adolescence spent climbing from the hellish pits of Florida's dives, The Dirty Janes ooze a rock n' roll authenticity hard to come by in modern day.

 

Their fledgling years were typical — dingy sports bars, set-lists laden with covers — and they were well-documented under the group's former name “Sick Hot," which was at long last laid to rest after more than half a decade.

​

Now, there's a revised air of sophistication that seeps between the curtain of fringe sleeves and shaggy manes of hair; covers have become far and few within a prolific repertoire of original music that's reminiscent of godfather rock bands like Humble Pie, Slade, and early Aerosmith.

​

The Dirty Janes emerge seasoned with several major festival appearances under their belt, having played with names like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Elle King, The Allman Betts Band, and Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown.
