Dirty Grass Players

With a nod to tradition and a fearless sense of adventure, The Dirty Grass Players are pushing the boundaries of bluegrass—and having a blast doing it. Hailing from Baltimore, this high‑energy quartet blends razor‑sharp harmonies, rootsy improvisation, and modern songwriting into a sound that’s fresh, fast, and unmistakably their own.

Equally convincing on a two‑minute Flatt & Scruggs classic or a ten‑minute jam‑band detour, The Dirty Grass Players walk the line between reverence and rebellion. Their latest album, Shiny Side Up—produced by Cody Kilby of The Travelin' McCourys—has earned praise from Bluegrass Unlimited and audiences across the U.S. and Europe. Their daring bluegrass take on Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” proves these guys aren't afraid to get a little dirty.

With a recharged lineup including founding members Ben Kolakowski (guitar) and Ryan Rogers (mandolin), joined by Connor Murray (bass) and Sam Guthridge (banjo), The Dirty Grass Players deliver a live show that’s rooted, inventive, and deeply anchored in American string‑band tradition
