About Dirt & Earthyvibes

Earthyvibes takes you through the life of a gaggle of Bohemians. A gathering of vocal harmonies, bluesy guitars, backbone beats & ethnic percussion, defiantly eclectic, playfully serious & joyfully manic as they mold their influences in a unique way in their pursuit of love, life, liberty, labor, lucidity, sadness & joy.

They sound like a blend of 20hz-40khz peaking at -0.01db in a logical order coming out of whatever tweeters & woofers you happen to be nearby. A keen listener would detect influences such as The Beatles, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Hank Williams Sr. and Tupac Shakur.

Hailing from the Holy Land of America (Texas), you can find Earthyvibes in their natural habitat the studio in Southlake Jamming, occasionally migrating in the sprint&fall to OKC, Austin, Houston, Abilene, Lubbock or San Antonio.

Come face to face with the music of these feral style rebels on a peculiar journey that will seem somewhat familiar through this world that they perceive as astonishing.

Kind words from the press…

Dirt&Earthyvibes’ multitude of melodies reaches deep down inside, grabs a hold of your soul causing your body to sway and you to sing along. Long after the last note is heard, you will be left in high spirits and echoes of their songs playing in your ear.

In 2003, Dirt&Earthyvibes began performing in Dallas, Texas. Desiring to play music with friends of all styles Dirt brought together The Doctor, China Maze and BManiac. “I consider myself lucky to know these guys and even more fortunate to make music with them,” says Dirt (vocals, guitar, harmonica). “With Dirt you have a mutli-instrumentalist, inspirational vocalist and brilliant songwriter. China Maze portrays a class act numerological musical mad scientist coined as a holistic healer with acupuncture needles if you get a head ache!” adds Bmaniac.

Messages2Mine, the bands sophomore album is jam packed with emerging sounds of tomorrow’s music which seemingly know no boundaries and always leave you wanting more. Beat by beat, Dirt&Earthyvibes appeal to all human emotions at one point or another in their lives. The band sings stories of life and dreams of tomorrow with imagery that will take you to a fantasy land. With legendary influences such as Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Hank Williams Sr. and Sam Cooke, mixed with the reckless abandonment of boundaries that you would find from more recent musical geniuses such as, Beck and Outkast, it’s no wonder Dirt&Earthyvibes are splashing onto the scene in a very big way.

“With our music, the mood is most important…as it dictates everything we do,” says Dirt. “The emotions derived from the mood is what drives the groove,” adds Bmaniac (vocals/drums).

Messages2Mine is what Dirt calls, “a beautiful souvenir of our lives.” Each song tells a tale of past experiences in their lives. Having filtered through 41 songs, prolific songwriters, Dirt&Earthyvibes narrowed the tracks down to 20 pre-produced songs. From these 20, ten of the most telling songs were selected to take the audience through unique rooms of melodies and feelings. Song selection was heavily based on the concept of contrasting moods in between songs. “From the very beginning of the album, the audience is led to a slow climax which than takes them to a calming after the storm, picking up again and gently tucking them in,” says Dirt. The track titled, “Zimori’s Song”, a remake of, “Danny’s Song”, is best described as this certain calm. “Dad used to sing this song to us when we were little. The original is about a man who is excited about becoming a dad. We changed the premise behind this song to reflect on a man apologizing to his son for the relationship between his father and mother not working out.” states Dirt.
