Overview

The Dirty Names are a Rock ’n Roll party-on-wheels hailing from Annapolis, MD. Now based in Nashville, they've been likened to the Rolling Stones, T. Rex and The Who with an appeal that is undeniably magnetic. Known as the hardest working band in show business, the Dirty Names have toured extensively throughout the US, Canada and Europe with no plans of slowing down. Put on your finest and get ready to dance with the Dirty Names!

We play mostly originals but have a slew of covers that we can do:
James Gang - Funk 49
Faces - Stay With Me
Fankie Vali - December, 1963
Wilson Pickett - Funky Broadway
Tom Petty - American Girl
The Clash - I Fought The Law
...and many more!

Harrison Cofer is a lion in human skin. With an electric guitar and a microphone in hand, he's bound to hack up a hair ball or two.
Matt Rose is half man half dachshund. Be careful cuz once he gets the rhythm going, there's no stopping him.
Sam Wetterau is a cool drink on a hot day. They call him the doctor of delight and he'll prescribe Fernet for just about anything.​
Kit Whitacre is like a block of lemon jello. A little sweet, a little sour, he'll jiggle and slide right off your plate.
