With this turning of the year, it is finally time to say goodbye to a dear friend and founding member – the one, the only – Dane “Bootsy” Schindler”:
Bootsy will be handing over his sticks to another very young and talented drummer, a one Mr. Scott Graves:
Bootsy’s been there since the beginning, and it will be incredibly tough to see him go. But he’s gonna guide Scott into a new chapter with us, and I know Scott will be a killer replacement:
Many big things coming this year. Stay tuned. Ad Astera per Aspera.
Where y’at Del Ray, FL? We’re gonna be blowing down the Arts Garage tonight – show starts at 8pm w/ the phenomenal Jon Stickley Trio, then Yours Truley will follow!
Remember remember the 5th of November! Here’s a sweet news article about the occasion as well. Sure beats doing that crazy wakka bath salts stuff the kids are into. Come on out!
This isn’t easy to say y’all, but it’s time. At the end of this year, I will be getting off the road with Dirty Bourbon River Show.
It has been a wild and wonderful adventure y’all, better than anything I could have imagined for myself and our band. We have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people, who have been absolutely amazing to know and call our friends and extended family, and performed in front of crowds, big and small, all over this beautiful country of ours and even in Europe. But New Orleans is my home, and she’s been calling me back for sometime now.
I owe each and every one of you a sincere thank you. To Noah, Jimmy, Matt, Nick, Charlie, Sandra and Adam – thank you all for your friendship and your love for what we do. We speak a different language when we get on that stage, and I can’t possibly express enough how much you all have helped me grow as a person and a musician throughout the years. This decision hasn’t been easy for me, and y’all have been understanding and supportive throughout this process. To Jamie, John, Virginia, Curtis, Adrienne, and Chris – thank you for all for the hard work and love you put into helping artists like us every day! Y’all are amazing, and my appreciation and respect for you knows no bounds! To all of my friends and family out there scattered all over – thank you for always being there, for your support and most importantly your friendship. Especially, to every person who gave us a place to stay each night after our Shows. It would take me way too long to express how truly thankful I am such amazing humans exist and love music the way you do. Thank you! That I have such beautiful friends near and far is truly the real reward of doing what we do.
My drums and I have had quite a time with Dirty Bourbon, not bad for a kid who started playing in his garage with dreams of something bigger. Those drums went from being stuck in the attic for weeks during Katrina to traveling all over the world, and damn did we shake up some crowds! Thank you all again for your love and support, and most of all thank you for dancing!
Dirty Bourbon River Show has always been more than a band for me, more than just us playing our hearts out on stage. Dirty Bourbon has been a dream come true. An idea that continues to grow into something bigger than we originally thought. We’ve recorded over 100 songs together, performed across the world. We created and produced our own and so much more, and we did it all OUR WAY!
WE did it TOGETHER!
That fact alone fills me up with so much pride and love, y’all. I respect each and every person who has been apart of the Show, especially the guys in it! Y’all are amazing friends and musicians, and it has been an honor and the best adventure of my life to do this with y’all!
Thank you!
Your friend and drummer,
Dane “Bootsy” Schindler

Moving forward, Dirty Bourbon River Show is calling all drummers to contact us if you’re interested in touring with us full-time. That’s at least 6 months of the year of dedicated touring. We’ll be hosting auditions in New Orleans on November 30th. There’s obviously a lot of music to go through, so we’ll put together an Audition Packet of some choice tunes for you to learn. So, if you’re interested please contact us at dirtybourbon@gmail.com with some information about yourself and some media (i.e. videos, recordings, photos) that best represent your style! We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Where y’at New York City? Dirty Bourbon’s in town! We’ve spent the past 2 days at the SVA in Manhattan filming a music video for our upcoming 10th studio album. It’s been amazing time shooting w/ Mr. Eddie Hellman of Flying Pygmalion Films. Check out this awesome still from the video shoot of our superstar female lead Mrs. Adriana Recchia:
Good times! Look for the video drop in March, and thanks so much to Mr. Eddie and his amazing team for making it happen. To celebrate we’re playing at the Mercury Lounge tonight! Doors open at 9:30, the Every Flavor Weather Machine opens the show at 10, then we’ll close out the night 11pm – till.
