Traditional blues done right! Done tight.
Our purpose is to have fun, explore the blues and share an engaging hi-energy performance that connects with the audience. A band that is not afraid to try new things but still play the old delta and front porch style blues.
Dirty River, one of the best Cincinnati blues bands, plays the whole gamut of blues including originals and was one of the first blues bands featured on Cincinnati radio live. They put together, hosted and performed the earliest outdoor blues festivals to be held in Cincinnati and closed summer with a blues performance that was televised from Cincinnati's "River Fest."
Please check out out all of our upcoming shows here on our calendar page.
Dirty River is available for Weddings, Parties, Special Occasions, Corporate, Civic and Private Events!
