The Damned and Dirty
From a lo-fi Delta Blues session in 2012 to an award-winning five-piece today, The Damned and Dirty reshapes the blues without abandoning its roots. Their sound fuses gritty roots-rock and cinematic Americana with raw emotion—both familiar and unexpected.

New single Fading Sun out now!
The Damned and Dirty are excited to announce their brand-new single "Fading Sun," releasing on July 18, 2025. As the title track of their upcoming sixth studio album (due late 2025), "Fading Sun showcases the band's unique blend of gritty roots-rock, cinematic Americana, and raw, blues-driven emotion.
