Dirtfoot revolution
Exactly what is grumble boogie and how do you describe the sound to new ears? I haven't quite figured out how to sum up local band Dirtfoot, but they tell me, "Just call it grumble boogie." Perhaps the best way to describe grumble boogie is to give you an idea of the power it has over people.
At any local Dirtfoot concert, the area around the stage is surrounded by uninhibited adults. Earlier that day these people may have been bankers, realtors, city officials. But when Dirtfoot takes the stage and fans get a hold of cans filled with dried beans and held together by duct tape, the professional crowd looks more like kindergartners during music class.
Shreveport loves grumble boogie, but Dirtfoot is hoping to broaden its audience -- and they need your help. The band is a top 10 finalist in the Artist Revolution/Voodoo Music Experience Play Voodoo Contest. Visitors can go on the Artist Revolution Web site, cast a vote each day and the winning band earns a Saturday spot at Voodoo in New Orleans.
To vote, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the voting link. Photos of the 10 finalists will appear, click on Dirtfoot and then on the little red check mark and your vote will be cast.
