Blues and bluegrass band Dirty Cello comes to Piper’s Opera
The blues and bluegrass band Dirty Cello is not your typical band. Fronted by renowned classical cellist, Rebecca Roudman, this genre-bending band plays high energy blues and bluegrass like you’ve never heard before. There’s even a smattering of classic rock like the Rolling Stones thrown in.
According to Roudman, the band specializes in unique venues that are off the beaten path like Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City. The band is fresh off a tour to the far northern reaches of Iceland where they played many shows including a slightly confused cowboy festival held in their honor.
“Everyone in the town dressed like American style cowboys,” says Roudman, “There were cowboy hats, camouflage clothes, beer drinking contests, and even a slightly confused singalong of Country Roads.” Also on that tour, the band played in an old fish processioning factory with the smell of herring still lingering in the air.
“Piper’s is a new venue for us, and we can’t wait to play there, and put on a great show;” says Roudman. Piper’s has hosted the likes of Harry Houdini, John Philip Sousa, Errol Flynn and many others during its storied career.
Roudman reports that Dirty Cello’s shows are all about high energy and fun. The band is known for taking everything a bit uptempo, running into the crowd, and prompting classic singalongs
