Johnny Sketch & The Dirty Notes

Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes offers irreverent, horn-inflected funk/rock with a Latin/Klezmer flair. The classically-trained Dirty Notes, led by Marc Paradis on guitar, electric cello, and vocals, Dave Pomerleau on bass, Andre Bohren on drums, Josh Paxton on piano, and Omar Ramirez and Sage Newell on horns, were described by Rolling Stone as “what you get if Phish had been born at Tipitina’s and studied under George Clinton and Frank Zappa late every night on the levee.” Original favorites include the hard-driving “Ya Herd Me?,” “Everybody’s Got Trouble,” and “Cora Lee.”
