Release Notes:

ôYouth may be in their blood, but tradition guides their instinctsö, reveals M!
Music and MusicianÆs Magazine. ôThe DIRTY GUV'NAHS are wise in the ways of rock
nÆ roll beyond their tender yearsö. The swell of grassroots momentum for this
6-piece rock nÆ roll collective from Knoxville, TN is undeniable. ôThe Guvsö
have been steadily growing their fan base across the country, selling out shows
in theatres and bars alike, and making standout festival appearances at
Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, and SXSW, to name a few. The band has also shared the stage
with a diverse and notable list of major artists, including Wilco, Zac Brown
Band, Levon Helm Band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Train, Dr. Dog, and
Chris Robinson.
After two independent releases and relentless touring, The Dirty GuvÆnahsÆ new
album, Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies raises the bar significantly for
this explosive ensemble. Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies was recorded in
Nashville, TN with producer Ross Copperman and Grammy winning engineer Richie
Biggs (The Civil Wars).
Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies marks another successful milestone for
The Guvs, showcasing an energetic blend of rock and soul interwoven with a
distinctive modern edge. The result is a joyous 14-track offering that combines
honest, heartfelt lyrics with gritty and passionate musicianship. Standout
tracks ô3,000 Milesö, ôDonÆt Give Up on Meö, and ôTemptationö exemplify the
bandÆs keen ability to effectively infuse traditional rock sounds with
contemporary relevancy. Upbeat foot-stompers like ôGood Luck Charmö and ôCan You
Feel Itö conjure the familiar American rock feel that The Dirty GuvÆnahs began
fashioning on their 2010 Release Youth Is In Our Blood.
The Dirty GuvÆnahsÆ unlikely genesis took place when band members were
introduced through a mutual friend, nicknamed ôThe GuvÆnahö, who eventually
became the bandÆs namesake. Their following grew quickly and after a string of
sellout shows in their hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, they were offered their
first performance slot at Bonnaroo. That concert led to a recording opportunity
in December of 2009 at roots-rock mecca Levon Helm Studios, and the band hasnÆt
looked back since.
The Dirty GuvÆnahsÆ live show is led by the soulful holler of frenetic front man
James Trimble. Brothers Justin and Aaron HoskinsÆ lay down a sturdy foundation
of tight rhythms on bass and drums (respectively), while Chris DoodyÆs thick
Hammond organ and bluesy piano along with Michael JenkinsÆ and Cozmo HollowayÆs
tasty guitar stylings round out the groupÆs sound. The result is accurately
described by a recent review in Music Connection Magazine: ôThe Dirty GuvÆnahs
donÆt just play music; they capture the human experience through song.ö
Relix Magazine was so impressed with The GuvÆs live show; they recently made the
group one of their ôOn the Vergeö artists for March 2012. Upon witnessing the
bandÆs blue-collar approach, they commented, ôMusicians today that donÆt want to
connect with their fans are just missing the whole point. The Dirty GuvÆnahs are
grassroots all the way.ö The Guvs grassroots success story received its most
recent validation when the band funded their new album entirely through
Kickstarter donations from fans. The band raised 100% of their target funding in
3 days, prompting recognition of the GuvÆnahs campaign in Billboard Magazine,
and went to work creating an album that is sure to stir the hearts and shuffle
the feet of their organic fan base. Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies is a
riveting collection of songs for a new generation of listeners starving for a
fresh and authentic rock nÆ roll music experience.
