THE THIN DIMES is the product of 5 like-minded artists who make quality, high-energy, foot-stomping music. With roots at the likes of Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Elmore James, and Son house these guys know how to make even dirt look beautiful. Americana runs through their blood and the sounds of the roots rings from their soul. Friendship and brotherhood tie this band together as much as it sets them free.
