Bio / Background
"Sitting down to enjoy the music of Uncle Dirtytoes is a real treat! It has all the inspiration, nuances and optimism that remind me of why I got into writing and performing music myself, so many years ago. Long live real music!" - Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull.
Make Them Come Alive!
Recorded Live
with no overdubs, additives, or MSG
September 13, 1997
at Stony Point Barn
Uncle Dirtytoes has an extensive musical repertoire consisting mainly of originals which are complemented by a mixture of traditional and contemporary cover songs. The originals vary widely in style and flavor with songs that are evocative of other times and places, as well as portrayals of life here and now.
The band derives its inspiration from songwriter Maria Anthony and such seminal folk-rock artists as Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Jethro Tull, and Richard Thompson, and covers songs by these performers as well as artists such as Bob Dylan, The Waterboys, Jefferson Airplane, the Beatles, and others.
