Virginia Dirt
Outlaw Country Band
Virginia Dirt is a dynamic outlaw Country/Americana duo making waves in the UK country music scene. Comprising Virgie Lynne and Corrado Cecere, the pair brings a unique blend of honky-tonk heart and gritty polish to their music. Virgie Lynne, hailing from the edge of the Great Dismal Swamp in the southern United States, grew up immersed in country music, drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Waylon Jennings and the Bakersfield sound pioneers Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. Her songwriting, infused with joy, wit, and a touch of despair, has earned comparisons to the legendary Jimmy Webb. Meanwhile, Corrado Cecere, originally from Rome and now based in Suffolk, adds a fascinating mix of influences, from metal and swamp blues to traditional country, creating a sound that is both timeless and tongue-in-cheek.
The duo burst onto the scene with a bold debut, supporting Nashville-based superstar Sunny Sweeney in their very first gig. Since then, Virginia Dirt has garnered support from influential figures like Black Deer Radio and Sirius XM's Eric Alper, solidifying their place in the industry. Their first two singles have received global airplay and spots on popular Spotify playlists like Trending Country. Known for their authentic country sound with a modern twist, Virginia Dirt continues to captivate audiences with their unique style and engaging performances.
Looking ahead, Virginia Dirt is set to release their highly anticipated debut album, "Miss Dirt To You," on April 25, 2025. The album, mastered by the renowned Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, promises a high-quality listening experience for fans. To celebrate the release, the duo will headline a show at the iconic Green Note in London on May 29, 2025. With their distinctive blend of influences and undeniable talent, Virginia Dirt is poised to leave an indelible mark on the country music landscape.
