are a burgeoning upbeat, high-energy, blue-to-paisley-grass band, located in Bozeman, MT.  From dive bars to festivals to being your perfect wedding band – we love it all.

The Dirt Farmers are a foot-stomping string band, who call their musical style “paisley grass.” They have gained a following for their fun-loving mix of old school country, bluegrass, blues and rock, with the occasional slip into hip-hop. The band members, as unique as their song list, serve it all up with a smile on mandolin, banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass with sweet vocal harmonies.

The usual lineup features tand-out guitarist/singer Jim Dungan, Nate Fortier on mandolin and vocals, Bill Chuck Swenson on banjo, harmonica, and vocals, Lenka Swenson on fiddle, and Suzanne Ford on doghouse bass.

Their debut CD, Dirt on the Tracks is available on Sound Cloud here.

Always entertaining, our shows have an all-age appeal, and will keep the dance floor packed all night.  Book us for your bar, company party, or wedding – you will not be disappointed!
