Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, Dirty French Broads bring a porch-party energy to Americana and bluegrass. Named in homage to the French Broad River, their sound blends Appalachian storytelling with high-energy live shows that feel equal parts intimate campfire and festival roar. The lineup features Kate Thomas on vocals and guitar, Jeannie McKenzie on fiddle, Josh Linhart on drums, and John Tirone on upright bass. They’ve built a devoted following with steady releases and dynamic performances that light up stages across the region and beyond.
