THE DIRTY GUV’NAHS

Voted Best Band in Knoxville for 10+ years running, The Dirty Guv'nahs met while attending the University of Tennessee and what was initially supposed to be just a couple of occasional gigs led to a massive southeastern following, 10+ years of touring, 4 full length albums, and 2 live albums. Their energetic and inspired live shows earned them fans all over the globe and led to multiple festival appearances at Bonnaroo, SXSW, Wakarusa, while also getting the honor to open on tour for bands like The Avett Brothers, Zac Brown Band, The Black Crowes, Wilco, NeedtoBreathe, and the Levon Helm Band. Deemed "Knoxville's Favorite Sons", The Dirty Guv'nahs have vowed from the beginning to continue providing rock & roll for the people as long as the people want it. They hope that curating Southern Skies Music Festival right here in their hometown of Knoxville will keep the people happy for many years to come.
