Artist Biography

Colonel JD Wilkes (of Th Legendary Shack*Shakers), along with his wife Jessica and long-time friend 'Slow' Layne Hendrickson, make up the hillbilly / hokum trio THE DIRT DAUBERS.

Hailing from western Kentucky, these three caterwaulin hooologans sing loud and proud an eclectic mix of Appalachian, ragtime, and hot jazz standards and original music.

With their first ever performance having taken place at Londons Raindance Film Festival, the DIRT DAUBERS are off to a rousing, rollicking start. Just ask Les Claypool (Primus) who was in attendance at their very fist show and came up and said 'That was great!'.

Be sure to catch their special brand of jangling tomfoolery at a hootenanny near you!
