Sadly, after six wild, wonderful, raucous months we will no longer be able to continue as house band for the Big Busk! burlesque night. With increased touring and workloads, we simply and unfortunately do not have enough time to continue.
Yes, we too will miss those curvacious conditions...
But hot damn, the memories… such a wonderful and unique rock’n’roll comedia erótica variety hour we have created and experienced… but have no fear – Dirty Bourbon and burlesque come hand in hand, and there will surely be more to come…
We are pleased to announce our first cluster of 2011 showdates! Check it:
1.08 Mobile, AL Callaghan’s w/ Holy Ghost Tent Revival 1.09 New Orleans, LA Cafe Prytania w/ Holy Ghost Tent Revival & Mississippi Rail Company 1.22 New Orleans, LA Le Maison w/ Glasgow & Friends 2.05 Jackson, MS Ole Tavern
2.12 Mobile, AL Blind Mule w/ The Howdies & The Blackjacks
Also, from 3.31-4.03 we will be touring the South for our Volume II CD Release Tour
And from 5.13-6.01 we will be touring the South and the East Coast for our Summer 2011 Tour
Spent all weekend in the studio finishing the last session of tracking for Volume II, due late this March 2011. Now all we have left are overdubs, mixing, mastering, and then we give it to you!

Noah Bonaparte Pais just did a really nice, well thought-out piece on us in this week’s Gambit, check it out:
The Dirty Bourbon River Show honed its sound and repertoire at a weekly gig at the Howlin' Wolf.
Only a band as genetically theatrical as the Dirty Bourbon River Show could subdivide a 30-minute EP into a three-act affair. In July, the New Orleans ensemble issued Free Love, its second self-released record this year, as merch-table fodder and an appetite-whetting intermezzo between Vol. 1, its February debut, and Vol. 2, due in spring 2011. But the platter took on a life of its own: a triple-gatefold, snow-globe carnival whose little big top houses three different introductions and even more personalities, segueing seamlessly from kazoo- and clarinet-blown circus shenanigans to smooth-croon lounge, and finely fingered folk ballads to banjo hoedowns, jazzy sax solos and staccato piano jams…
