The Dirty Mac Blues Band

About Me

The Dirty Mac Blues Band started in November of 2007 as a child of the Boston area blues jam scene. The band takes pride in having a repertoire of mostly original music. With over 30 original tunes, and 45 gigs the band has been very busy. April 2009 marks the release of the band's studio album VICTORY BAR. This is something our fans have been asking for since we started playing live, and we are very excited about it.CONTACT INFO Terry Mackie 617 293-5567 [email protected] Purchase VICTORY BAR with paypal To Purchase VICTORY BAR by Check or Money Order Please send $13.00 ($10.00 + $3.00 S/H) to Terry Mackie 12-14 Rover St. Everett,MA 02149Please allow all personal checks and foreign money orders at least a weeks time to clear
