After playing shows in the Brewed Awakening coffee house in downtown Sault Ste. Marie Michigan, Dirty X-Cuse rose to the top of the folk scene in 2008 with their debut album, Dirty, Slimy, Sloppy Excuse. The band's latest album, You Call That An Excuse?, balances Numb Skull Nick's insightful lyrical stylings with intricate orchestral accompaniments to assemble Dylan-esque results. With standout tracks like "Jewel Master," look for Dirty X-Cuse to be a major influence in the folk landscape for years to come.
