About this Event
Dumpster Joe & The Boys is an ever growing project with many different members but is organized and managed by Dumpster Joe. They play 1920s and 30s country blues, hill billy and jazz tunes(also a few originals). The tunes they play were learned by listening fanatically to old 78 rpm records and reissues of 78s. They will totally rock your socks off and make you wanna slap your pappy down.
Born in Virginia, and inspired by his southern black heritage, Tevis Hodge Jr. began playing blues at the age of 12 years old, though he first started guitar at the age of six. With a deep love for Black American music, Tevis is compelled to bring the traditions of his heritage to life.
Well versed in multiple blues idioms such as the Piedmont, Delta, Texas, urban and country blues styles, He also dips into jazz, jug band, folk and even old timey novelty tunes. Tevis Hodge Jr's repertoire is an eclectic mix while his performance oozes with originality and passion. Adding his own flare to the songs he covers, he seamlessly presents originals that can mingle with the classics and stay true to the source.
At the age of 13 Tevis started to gravitate to performing at school events, open mics, and on the street. With a considerable amount of experience for his age, Tevis has enjoyed a career opening for acts ranging from Robert Cray to Living Colour, and performing onstage with such acts as Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary,) vaudeville legend Baby Gramps, "Boogie-Cat" Norman Sylvester, guitar virtuoso Mary Flower and soul extraordinaire Ural Thomas to name a few. Tevis is a 4x Muddy Award recipient (2023,2024) and has had great reception at festivals, fairs, markets, clubs, vineyards and venues alike.
