The Dirty Blues Band are the duo of Michelle LaHaise and David Lindsay. Recreating the songs and vibes of a 1930’s After Hours club, Michelle channels the spirit of Billie Holiday, Big Mama Thornton and Janis Joplin while Dave adds rhythm, fingerstyle and slide on select acoustic guitars. Their current repertoire includes gems from Memphis Minnie, The Rhythm Shakers and the original Mojo Working from 1957. Their original music pays homage to the steeped blues traditions and sounds of times past.
"There is a rich history of blues 78rpm records which, having been restored with modern technology, provide an insight into the dawn of the blues, and these serve as an inspiration to conjure up a rootsy atmosphere of Juke Joints and Boozecans of the past, where live music was raw and expressive."
