The Roswell Cultural Arts Center will present the self-proclaimed creators of New Orleans Gypsy Circus Rock next month.

The Dirty Bourbon River Show will get underway at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 9. The show deftly melds sounds that range from hard-edged blues to darkly poetic ballads to hard-hitting New Orleans brass band marches. The result is a truly breathtaking blast of fresh energy into the musical landscape.

Dirty Bourbon will dazzle audiences with their eccentricity and dexterity and charm new fans with their ability to hearken back to by-gone eras in music. Since forming in early 2009, the Dirty Bourbon River Show has released eight studio albums and played almost 800 live shows, quickly gaining them praise for their tight, multi-faceted sound and high-energy performances.

They can be found bringing their blend of “New Orleans Big Brass Circus Rock” all over the USA, performing at festivals and respected venues year-round.

The Dirty Bourbon River Show comprises Noah Adams (vocals, piano, guitar, accordion, trumpet), Matt Thomas (vocals, tenor and baritone saxophone, clarinet), Jimmy Williams (bass, sousaphone), Dane “Bootsy” Schindler (drums), and Sandra Love (back-up vocals).

Their albums and live shows (both heavily intertwined) pair exuberant, syncopated lyrics with complex, harmony-rich songwriting and orchestration. They switch instruments mid-show (sometimes even mid-song), they all sing (except the drummer, of course), and they all have a penchant for theatrics (fireballs, group chants and stomps, whiskey pours – whatever the imagination calls for).

This show is suited for mature audiences only.
