The Dirty French Broads are an Americana Grass band from the mountains of the WNC, bringing smoky originals and boot-stomping southern favorites, with the energy of a thousand golden retriever puppies seeing their first snowfall. With heart-stirring ballads and lively cut-a-rugs, Kate Thomas draws the audience with her rich, smoky timbre and leaves them laughing beer up their noses, wishing they’d worn their dancing shoes. This lively crew plays just about everything with strings and – when the weather’s right – the occasional kazoo. Authentic and endearing with a little spice, they’re a few shades apart from the established Americana and Bluegrass scenes, and you’ll definitely want to join their book club.
