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 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. 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 during their formative years as a band, DGS has expanded their touring circle over recent years. Their high energy live show has earned the band a reputation as one of the southeast’s emerging Independent Southern Rock/Alt. Country bands and helped to gain them national attention.
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. Be sure to visit
