The Dirt Farmers – your all-Montana Wedding Band!

The Dirt Farmers are a foot-stomping string band based out of Bozeman, MT, who call their musical style “paisley grass”, and specialize in wedding receptions. Over the years they have gained a following for their fun-loving mix of old school country, bluegrass, blues and rock, with the occasional slip into hip-hop, but are also at home performing a classical piece for the ceremony music. The band members, as unique as their song list, serve it all up with a smile on mandolin, banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass with sweet vocal harmonies.

The usual lineup features stand-out guitarist/singer Jim Dungan, Nate Fortier on mandolin and vocals, Chuck Swenson on banjo and vocals, Lenka Swenson on fiddle and vocals, and Suzanne Ford on doghouse bass and vocals. They love to perform, and show the same energy and enthusiasm, whether playing weddings, huge corporate parties, or small intimate gatherings.

Their debut CD, Dirt on the Tracks is available on Sound Cloud here.

“Professional, reliable, flexible, and easy to work with”

That’s how people describe us.  We have fun playing, but take it very seriously.  We know that things don’t always go according to plan at weddings or other events.  We are pros, and come prepared to deal with any eventuality, and are flexible enough to make sure things go as smoothly as possible now matter what happens.  When you hire us, you can relax knowing that the musical portion of the day is taken care of and in good hands.

Bluegrass? Old-timey? Alt-country? Classic and current rock hits?  Yup!

Always entertaining, our shows have an all-age appeal, feature music from a variety of genres, and will keep the dance floor packed all night.  If you’re looking for a great, entertaining, and truly Montana experience for your wedding, corporate event, private party, or fine establishment, book our band – you will not be disappointed!
