DAY SHEET BLOG — guitarist

As a company that provides quality clothing and accessories for the music community, attending the NAMM Show was an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our brand and connect with fellow music enthusiasts.

This year’s show was a bit pared down in comparison to years past.. and this allowed space for us to walk the showroom floor, and spread the good word about DIRTBAG to vendors and attendees. The NAMM Show was also a great opportunity for Dirtbag Clothing to network with other industry professionals and gain insights into the latest trends and innovations in the music world. We met with fellow exhibitors, music retailers, and other attendees to share our experiences and learn from others.

Our favorite exhibitor at this year’s NAMM Show was CREAM GUITARS. A small, but heavy-hitting boutique guitar outfit from Mexico— these guys had the best looking booth and products in the whole show. Also, their ground operations team were a bunch of cool-ass, easy to talk to human beings.

Our team at DIRTBAG was thrilled to be part of such a prestigious event and connected with music enthusiasts from all over the world. We believe that attending the NAMM Show will help us continue to grow our brand and reinforce our commitment to the music community.

We want to thank all the attendees chatted with us, met our team, and checked out our latest designs. Whether you're a musician, music retailer, or just a music lover, Dirtbag Clothing has something for everyone. It was refreshing to see the past generation of music makers and the next generation stand shoulder-to-shoulder and share a common thread.

We are proud to have attended the 2023 NAMM Show, and it was an incredible experience for our whole team. We look forward to future NAMM Shows and other events where we can connect with the music community and showcase our products.

The unapologetically herself rock guitarist, Alexx Calise, of BATFARM joins us in celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth. Growing up in a family of musicians, from violinists to luthiers, meant that Calise was no stranger to the greats of the industry! Inspired to start playing music from listening to her father's epic renditions of ""Michelle"" by the Beatles, & The James Bond theme song, Alexx felt music in her blood & bones and by age 11 she picked up the guitar and ran with it. During the late 80s & early 90s, the grunge era emerged & became one of the biggest genres to impact the world of music. From Soundgarden to The Toadies, the raw edginess of the genre stood out & Alexx couldn't get enough!

Dirtbag Endorsed Artist FRANK PALANGI just went America all over everybody's ass at the Albany Times Union Center Arena. Playing for a packed house before the Siena Saints took on the Saint Peter's Peacocks (and won!), Frank ripped the Star Spangled Banner on his 6 string shred machine. Check out the video below!

Earlier this week, we were super excited to ship out the newest batch of custom merchandise for our friends at EMG Pickups- a long-time partner to our Endorsed Artists' Tour Support Equipment program. The shirts they ordered came in hot off the press on our Dirtbag blank tees, and they look great!

What kind of custom merch can we make for you?
