The Dirty Shame

Hometown: Bozeman
Members: Brandon Hale, Mike Hoffman, Kevin Toll, Tom Day, Adam Greenberg
Current Release: The Dirty Shame (2010)
The Dirty Shame is an outlaw country quintet whose rough, smoke-filled-bar, highwayman numbers have all the ruggedness and questionable morality of Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. The members of The Dirty Shame hail from California, Michigan, Colorado and Washington, giving the band a distinctly Western and yet musically diverse sound. They recorded their first album in 2010, and have spent the years since touring and making a name for themselves on the small but surprisingly rich Bozeman music scene. The album boasts truly Wild West tracks like “Don’t Let the Deal Go Down” and “Last Rodeo.”
