DIRTY CELLO 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 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." Oakland Magazine https://dirtycello.com TAL NACCARATO Born in Italy and raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Italo "Tal" Naccarato is a composer, songwriter, teaching artist, and instrumentalist. His stylized original work highlights a deep appreciation for traditional Folk, Americana, Roots and Country Blues and includes classical guitar inspired compositions with a "bluesy swing." "...Tal is a one-man revue of a dozen of the great blues guitar masters..." Mike Livingston, Program Chair, Folk Society of Greater Washington. https://talnaccarato.com
