"We originally booked Phil Dirt & The Dozers to compliment our Cruise event, but because of their wonderful musicianship, great, tight-fitting harmonies, the many different styles of rock n’ roll, and their tremendous showmanship as entertainers, they became an event themselves!

“I caught your shows twice this summer and not only are you a great band and great musicians, but your interaction with the audience can sure melt away the pressures of our realities.

Thanks for keeping me smiling and tappin' the last 10 years!” Mike Chiteman, Fan, Erie, Pennsylvania

“You’re simply awesome! Phil Dirt & The Dozers gives me the rare outlet I need to stay in touch with who I am and who I was growing up.

It moves me to be-all-things-better because it carries happiness with each note. So, I want to thank you time and time again because your gig is my gig. It’s a vitamin like no other. Your talents are amazing and you pay tribute to perfection in every song you sing.” Lorraine Boyd, Fan, London, Ohio
