This duo has created a timeless style and classic sound that speaks for itself. In an age where adding mechanized bells and whistles are the norm, Admiral Radio opts for a more natural feel by getting back to the basics of good songwriting and music with heart.

- The Dirt Farmers -

This group is a burgeoning upbeat, high-energy, blue-to-paisley-grass, foot-stomping string band located in Bozeman, MT.  The Dirt Farmers have gained a following for their fun-loving mix of old-school country, bluegrass, blues and rock, with the occasional slip into hip-hop. The band members, as unique as their song list, serve it all up with a smile on mandolin, banjo, guitar, fiddle and bass with vocal harmonies.
Stand-out guitarist/singer Kelly Hagerman fronts the band with Nate Fortier or Ryan Totman on mandolin, Bill Devine on dobro/pedal steel, Chuck Swenson on banjo, Hans Swenson on fiddle, and Suzanne Ford on doghouse bass.
Dirt Farmers, Nate and Kelly, write original tunes that invite you to be “Having a Good Time” and experience the flavor and fun of Montana life.
