Dirty Cello at the Morro Bay Theatre

Special concert at the Bay Theatre in Morro Bay on April 19

The world traveling band Dirty Cello lands at the Bay Theatre in Morro Bay on April 19, having played everywhere from an Icelandic cowboy festival, to a monastery in Italy. The Dirty Cello band will be bringing their high energy Americana, blues and rock.

“Last year we turned the Bay Theatre from a movie theater into a live rock concert venue. We had a full house, and it was so much fun, we’re going to do it again,” says cellist/vocalist and leader of the band, Rebecca Roudman. “We even brought in a stage that we built that morning, a great sound system and lighting.”

The Dirty Cello band features classical cellist gone rogue, Rebecca Roudman on cello and vocals, who is backed up by a top notch rhythm section. A review from Aldora Magazine, a UK based publication, recently described them as, “Their combination of blues, rock and roll, and bluegrass is an utterly irresistible sonic cocktail, converting listeners in their droves, a fanbase that now has dedicated cult followings all around the world.”

At the Bay Theatre, the Dirty Cello band will be performing a wide variety of music including favorites like Orange Blossom Special, House of the Rising Sun, I May Not Be Perfect, But I’m Pretty Damn Good and lots more. Their shows include audience participation and engagement, sing-alongs, and a casual and fun environment. Additionally, Roudman reports that the band has a variable set list with song choices determined by what the audience is most into.
