Americana, Bluegrass, American Folk music is an unknown music movement for many people. The musicians of the Dirtroadmusic band want to change this.
With a mix of Bluegrass traditionals, original songs, and here and there a well-packed evergreen. “We take the audience along the “dirt roads” of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina with traditional American roots music, including the genres “Americana and mountain music”.
The Dirtroadmusic band consists of three seasoned musicians-singer-songwriters. Singer and guitarist is the American John Leahy who grew up with this music. The band also consists of Pascal Oetiker who plays banjo, mandolin and blues harp and double bassist Cor Claessen. All three men are also the backing vocalists in the band. The gentlemen recorded an album with Rens van der Meer, at Thrills Studio in Loenen aan de Vecht (Rens is a multi-instrumentalist and his Honky Tonk style piano playing can be clearly heard in our recording of "Santa Fe"). This is the first of 6 singles that will be released over the course of the year. This will be followed by an EP of another 6 songs. So it will take a while, can't you wait? Then keep an eye on our Facebook page. We announce weekly where the next live performance will be. And by the way, we can be booked for private and business engagements.
