Audio PlayerA bio to the band can be seen below.
It started with two old friends, a couple of guitars, and true to form, two cases of Heineken.
During the darker days of lockdown, longtime pals Jay Emmons (The Glorious Sons) and Mike “Monty” Montgomery (Boston Levi) sat down to write a tune that did not overthink itself.
What came out of that session was not just a song, but the very DNA of Eddy and the Dirty Boys – a return to the kind of rock and roll that was loud, loose, and unapologetically fun.
Just like that, Eddy and the Dirty Boys were born.
Blurring the lines between country grit and rock swagger, Eddy and the Dirty Boys channel the spirit of The Faces, The Rolling Stones, and yes, even Jimmy Buffett on a bender.
Their songs are tailor-made for sticky bar floors, half-spilled drinks, and full-throated singalongs.
Their debut single, a raucous take on Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” drops this summer, just in time to hit the road with guitars in hand and trouble not far behin
“If this stops being fun, we just won’t do it anymore.”
