Dirt Turtles

Dirt Turtles is a high energy folky-tonk band out of the WNY/Fingerlakes region. This group is quickly establishing themselves as a “must-see act” with their smooth harmonies, twangy groove, and tasteful improvisational jams. The band is vocally led by Daniel McMahon and Sam Warren, literal blood relatives and lifelong friends, who have cooperated on musical endeavors together for as long as they’ve been able to play guitars. In the Summer of 2024 the duo was lucky enough to find themselves a rhythm section straight outta heaven and hence… Dirt Turtles was created. Roger Barnes is a bass player originally from Andover NY, but his music has graced folks all acrossed the globe during his illustrious career. He opened for Johnny Paycheck back in ‘93… it is far from his first rodeo. On the drums, the great Andrew “Bucky” Bossard. Bucky has been a drummer for a multitude of bands since the 90’s, some of his more notable ventures being Rubber Soul, Eric and the Bluesbirds and most recently stints with Eric Carlin’s Halfdead. Dirt Turtles’ most recent addition comes bearing a mandolin. Known best for his work with The Sweet Degenerates, Johnny VanName is the piece that ties Dirt Turtles all together. Filling their sound with tasteful licks and filling the crowds’ heart with joy. Expect to dance, expect to laugh, and try to fight the irresistible urge to crawl in the dirt with the rest of the turtles…
