RESONANCE ‘26 PRESENTS:
DIRT RHODES
A Navajo country band who takes musical influence from the classic country of the 60’s and 70’s.
“The cool thing about country music is it’s so specific—that specificity is vital, so with Navajo country music in particular it’s going to relate to Navajo people and I wanted that but I also wanted elements of things anyone can pick up whether you’re Navajo or not,” - Ryan Allison (Dirt Rhodes) via. @azdailysun
