If old-fashioned American folk was to have a baby with rock and roll, it would be named Dem Dry Bones. This fresh band from Annapolis, Maryland fuses the folk sound of acoustic guitars, fiddles, and banjos seamlessly with the energy and gusto of rock à la The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash. What results is a unique blend of tradition and rebellion that makes for something really special.
Dem Dry Bones plays honest, down-to-earth folk rock that relates to all parts of the human experience. In a typical performance, one will hear songs about good times and bad times, adversity and victory, outrage and love, and life and death. What one will not hear is a band that is so obsessed with popularity and image that they will succumb to the latest musical fad. Dem Dry Bones remains unyielding to the current popular trends while consistently playing quality music that is, in a sense, timeless.
