Yes people the time has come! The new album is ready and en route to Dirty Bourbon HQ, and we are getting the rewards together for those folks who donated last year and helped make it a reality!

Remember this? That was a special day folks!

   Right now, as we get the pieces together, we are sending out an email to retrieve addresses and such from everyone. So be on the lookout for an email from us inquiring about shipping info from you.

We hope y’all are as excited as we are for this new addition to the Dirty Bourbon catalog.

0 Fix Our House (Van)

The Dirty Bourbon River Show needs a new van

A Call To Action

You’ve all seen that rickity rockity tin can of a van we roll through your city in. The thing’s barely staying on its axles, it has no insolation or interior, no heat or a/c, holes in the bottom that leak water inside, a constant cacophony of strange noises and moans, no real guarantee that we’ll get to point B, not to mention a whole host of other problems… Yup, it’s time to get a new (or slightly less used) van.

But unfortunately vans are very expensive – it’s going to take at least $40,000 to purchase and outfit the kind of vehicle we need for our heavy 250+ days-a-year touring schedule. And that’s money we just don’t have! We are going to raise half of it ourselves through gigging and private parties (though $20,000 if A LOT and we’ll probably have to take out a bank loan) and we’re hoping to raise the other $20,000 from you, the listener, the lover, the supporter of live homemade 100% grassroots music….

Those of you who have recently downloaded our Old-Timey AfroPop Jibberish Junction or Free Love albums know that we don’t mind giving things away for free – and now we’d like to ask for just a little back. We need this van to stay alive, stay safe, and get to you – your town, wherever that may be. Please help us do that – the arts don’t pay us much (sometimes we literally skip meals), but we are heavily invested in heart – for the music, and for you. Do your part – help musician’s livelihoods – do something cool ladies and gentlemen… now is your chance.
