Dirty Cello

From the United States to Italy, and all over the U.S., San Francisco based band
Dirty Cello brings the world a high energy and unique spin on blues, rock, and
Americana. Led by vivacious cross-over cellist, Rebecca Roudman, Dirty Cello is
cello like you’ve never heard before. From down home blues and rock with a
wailing cello to virtuosic stompin’ Americana, Dirty Cello is a band that gets
your heart thumping and your toes tapping!

„Dirty Cello’s music is all over the map: funky, carnival, romantic, sexy, tangled,
electric, fiercely rhythmic, and textured, and only occasionally classical.“
Oakland Magazine

„The band plays every style imaginable, and does some fantastic covers. (Their
rendition of “Purple Haze” is incredible.) But what is most spectacular about
them is hearing the depth of soul in Roudman’s playing—it goes beyond what most
people would expect from the instrument. She plays it with so much heart, you’ll
wonder why more bands don’t have a cellist.“ Good Times Santa
Cruz

„The ensemble plays a range of eclectic tunes in ways you won’t hear anyone else dare
to attempt.“  –
Argus Courier

„Anyone who’s been in an audience when the San Francisco Bay Area Dirty Cello takes the
stage knows that something unique happens whenever cellist Rebecca Roudman and
ensemble come face to face with living, breathing (and whooping and shouting)
fans.“

Strings Magazine

„Dirty Cello have been hard to describe, apart from saying that a cello (played in ways
you won’t quite believe) is involved, and the range of music takes the word
eclectic and supercharges it to meltdown levels of energy and
invention.“
