The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Dirtwire sits on the back porch of an Americana future, conjuring a gris gris of sound with an amalgamation of traditional instrumentation and electronic rhythmic soundscapes. Comprised of multi-instrumentalist David Satori (Beats Antique) and Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila; Stallamara), each performance brings the audience to a mysterious crossroads intersecting at an imaginative and seductive moment in time. The result is a rebirth of Americana and beacon for a post-millennial return to the downhome.

The dirtwire duo met at the California Institute of Arts while studying World Music Composition. Both members of other successful music projects – Satori, part of the acclaimed electronic group Beats Antique and Fraser at the helm of the world grove bands Hamsa Lila and Stellamara – their unique chemistry led to a continued musical friendship throughout the years. In 2012 Satori and Fraser released their debut dirtwire album, attracting everyone from electronic dance ragers to traditional world and roots music toe-tappers. You can find Satori and Fraser’s live dirtwire performances in select theater and festivals across the US.
