Stronger Than Dirt

Bios

Our newest member, Melissa Murray became Dirty in February 2009.  She has fronted her own band Awry, which released two albums, and probably likes things and stuff, and most likely has other traits we don't know about yet.  All we know is that she operates heavy machinery and can sing.

John MacDonald, an original Dirt member, played guitar for 13 years before taking up bass, but nobody cared. He's also been in the Eryn Shewell Band, Christine Martucci Band and Under New Ownership (with Steve). His hobbies include moving, wasting time and putting dumb stuff on this website.

No longer Dirt's newest member, Andy Sonatore comes from a musical family (the Osmonds, I believe) and has been in his other band Swoop for a score or more years. He joined Dirt in September 2008 against his lawyer's advice and now has to put up with the band rehearsing in his basement.

An original Dirt member, Bruce Galbraith moved to New Jersey from Long Island 25 years ago, but still hasn't received his green card. His previous bands include Sugarfoot, The Bastardos (with Steve), No Clue, the Hillcrest Gang and the Cub Scouts Marching Kazoo Band. He teaches guitar on the side (or sometimes he stands). Some of his students have been Les Paul and Buddy Holly. He never misses a gig (because he has the PA).
