Monday July 27 Johanna Rose & The Dreamboats with Special Guests: Josh & The Dirty Rags
gutter jazz bass slayer New Orleans, LA
Johanna Rose is a New Orleans-based singer, songwriter, upright bassist, and street performer making music that lives somewhere between the stars and the gutter. Her sound - smoky, sultry, chaotic - walks the line between beauty and grit. With vocals that can cut or soothe and bass lines that feel like a heartbeat and a tightrope all at once, Rose builds songs that don’t ask permission. It’s jazz with a crooked grin; grounded in tradition but never content to stay there.
Josh & the Dirty Rags is a nomadic dark folk band, performing in flexible lineups, turning deep stories into catchy melodies offering a unique and well-orchestrated experience. Their music blends dark, elegant folk with a festive spirit, inspired by pirate legends and travels. With his banjo and theatrical voice in the style of Tom Waits or Amigo The Devil, Josh’s storytelling draws listeners in from the very first note.
