Proudly hailing from the musically rich foothills of Cleveland County NC, Dirty Grass Soul has been entertaining audiences across the Carolinas and beyond since their formation in 2011. With a sound that draws much influence from traditional music of the North Carolina foothills, Dirty Grass Soul manages to bring a new, refreshed, and re-energized sound to their music that falls somewhere between country, bluegrass, and southern rock & roll.
After touring primarily in the Carolinas behind their self-released albums “Soul'd Out: Live at the Don Gibson Theatre” "The Long Way" and "New Day of Work" DGS has tirelessly expanded their touring circle over the years earning them a reputation as one of the southeast's emerging Southern Rock/Alt. Country bands.
Dirty Grass Soul has shared the stage/been featured on bills with many legendary acts throughout their career including The Charlie Daniels Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, Hank Williams Jr., Sammy Kershaw, Tracy Lawrence, Joe Nichols, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner, Rhonda Vincent, 49 Winchester, Lainey Wilson, Randy Owen, Uncle Kracker, Colt Ford, The Kentucky Headhunters, Eastin Corbin, Parmalee, Corey Smith, Cody Jinks, Whitey Morgan, and many others. They have twice been featured performers on the popular fan favorite “Country Cruising - Country Music Cruise.”
Outside of touring, DGS recently made a cameo appearance on the pilot episode of the #1 hit NETFLIX series “The Hunting Wives” in 2025 and had several of their songs featured in the soundtrack.
Whether it is the hint of bluegrass, outlaw country, or rock & roll you hear in each song, their sound is uniquely Dirty Grass Soul. From Dedmon's down home/working class lyrics to their blazing instrumental breaks, Dirty Grass Soul is sure to offer a little something for everyone!
