Memphis-area country-blues guitarist/singer-songwriter Davis Coen’s most recent accomplishments include daily airplay on Sirius XM Satellite radio, and features on the Dan Aykroyd’s “House Of Blues Radio Hour”, and NPR’s Morning Edition & World Cafe programs. Somewhat current, his original instrumental music appeared on the DVD of Martin Scorsese’s PBS special “The Blues”, and on the DVD documentary about Hillcountry Mississippi blues matriarch Jesse Mae Hemphill, titled “Dare You To Do It Again”.

From China to Italy, and all over the U.S., Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues and bluegrass. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is cello like you’ve never heard before. From down home blues with a wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ bluegrass, Dirty Cello is a band that gets your heart thumping and your toes tapping!
“Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled, electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical.” Lou Fancher, Oakland Magazine
“The band plays every style imaginable, and does some fantastic covers. (Their rendition of “Purple Haze” is incredible.) But what is most spectacular about them is hearing the depth of soul in Roudman’s playing—it goes beyond what most people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, you’ll wonder why more bands don’t have a cellist.” Good Times Santa Cruz
“The group seamlessly careens from blues to bluegrass and rock in a way that really shouldn’t make sense but somehow does.” LA Times
