The Dirty Guv'nahs

Blending the classic sounds of Southern rock with a youthful energy and a jam band's love of the road, the Dirty Guv'nahs play music with more than enough soul and good times to go around. Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, the Dirty Guv'nahs create an energized vibe recalling the Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the Allman Brothers Band, with a dose of Americana and the Band tossed in for seasoning. Though the group was started for laughs, the strength of albums like 2012's Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies and 2014's Hearts on Fire proved they were no joke. The band split up in 2015, but their 2025 album Promises showed they were as strong and vibrant as ever.
