From Iceland to Italy, and all over the U.S., San Francisco-based band Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues, rock, and Americana. 

Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you’ve never heard before. From down-home blues and rock with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ Americana, Dirty Cello gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping! Combine the virtuosic wail of Jimi Hendrix, the soul of BB King, and the fire of Bill Monroe, and add a whole lot of cello, and you get the Dirty Cello band. 

Friday, April 26, 7:30 PM (doors 7:00 PM), 75-minutes with an intermission

Tickets are available for $15 in advance, $18 at the door, and $22 for preferred seating (pay-what-you-can available)

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

"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 group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn't make sense but somehow does."

- LA Times

"Dirty Cello have been hard to describe, apart from saying that a cello (played in ways you won’t quite believe) is involved, and the range of music takes the word eclectic and supercharges it to meltdown levels of energy and invention."

- Argus Courier

"Anyone who's been in an audience when the San Francisco Bay Area Dirty Cello takes the stage knows that something unique happens whenever cellist Rebecca Roudman and ensemble come face to face with living, breathing (and whooping and shouting) fans."

- Strings Magazine

"The ensemble plays a range of eclectic tunes in ways you won’t hear anyone else dare to attempt."

- Argus Courier
