The Dirty Grass Players Live at Chef's Market

Friday May 22nd

Baltimore’s The Dirty Grass Players bring a high-octane blend of tradition and innovation to modern bluegrass. Known for tight harmonies and fearless improvisation, they’ve toured the U.S. and Europe and appeared at major festivals including Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and DelFest. Their latest release, Shiny Side Up, and a driving bluegrass take on Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Jimi Hendrix prove this is a band that honors the roots while pushing the genre forward.
