East Coast Dirt has coined the phrase "sneaker boogaloo" to describe their sound. It has become the sound of slinky and angular guitar lines blended with greasy organ and analog synth tones soaring over a solid foundation of endless bass grooves with skillful and dynamic drumming, a familiar format that grows into an exciting and unique experience.
Show goers can expect the unexpected at an East Coast Dirt performance; spontaneous melodies will result in layered harmonies that dance on the edge of free jazz only to swiftly fall back into a recognizable form. Set lists will range from dense, psychedelic sound scapes to full force rockers or from organic drum n’ bass to Latin-infused jazz. But this is not a band with an identity crisis; it’s a band sculpting its voice. Each member’s rich and diverse musical background allows this Asheville quartet to blend rhythmic elements of one musical style with melodic elements of another into a strong, unified product.
East Coast Dirt was formed in 2005 and most recently settled on a new lineup in early 2007. New members Brian Steel (guitar, bass, vocals) and Will Little (keyboards, vocals) joined founding members Wilson Hawes (bass, guitar, vocals) and Brad Boughton (drums, vocals) and have been enthusiastically playing shows and writing new material since. All four have played for the previous years in and around North Carolina in other acts such as Loop, Dr. Ensemble, The Southern Lights and Waterbird; creating a seasoned veteran feel to live performances. The group continues to lay down a solid groundwork of talented composition and improvisation to broaden its fan base in more and more regional venues.

We strongly encourage you to pick up your tickets in advance so you can be a part of the festivities.
