ABOUT
Introducing the Dirty Rhodes Band ...
We’re a band of highly experienced, professional musicians, getting together to celebrate our love of great music. For us, it’s all about the gritty sounds of 1970’s Jazz, Soul and Motown. Bringing it up to date with a touch of neo soul, jazz funk, and Lo-Fi influences.
​
The electric Fender Rhodes piano is the signature sound from the Motown era, and that’s what we love. Add a bit of vintage snap, crackle and pop … and hey presto, you got the Dirty Rhodes Band.
Our repertoire includes classic Motown tracks from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye and Al Green. There’s also more modern influences from artists such as D’Angelo, Lenny Kravitz, Jamiroquai and Mamas Gun. It’s pretty varied.
​
Let’s be clear though, the Dirty Rhodes Band ain’t no bog standard ‘covers band’; we choose the tracks we think are great, then we like to bring our own particular vibe to them.
​
Based around Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Milton Keynes the band is available to perform anywhere in the South East.
Mesmerising, just incredible! A powerful presence on stage with soulful lyrics.

MUSICIANS
The Dirty Rhodes Band boasts some seriously experienced musicians.
​
Sharon Green aka DD Powers Vocals
Sharon was born to sing. She started right out of the blocks singing with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. As a seasoned performer, Sharon brings real energy, right to the front of the band.
​
Chris Green Keyboards
First a guitarist, Chris took up the double bass before he was even big enough to carry it, and he’s been doing jazz gigs for over thirty years. Always a piano player behind the scenes, he now leads the band with his love of the Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds.
Stewart Sibley Guitar
A highly accomplished musician and guitarist, Stewart never fails to deliver some smooth tones, tasteful licks and lyrical solos. He certainly adds a touch of class.
Tony Morton Drums
Putting the groove into the Dirty Rhodes, is Tony. A stalwart of the local music scene with decades of experience, he’s equally as happy playing jazz, pop or soul.
Flo Flowers Double Bass
All about that bass ‘bout that bass … and that’s where our man Flo is, sorting out our low frequencies. Another multi-instrumentalist, Flo began as a drummer and percussionist, with a dash of guitar on the side. The man got rhythm.
​
