Welcome

Let's get greasy.

We believe that a person can Look Sharp and be completely untucked at the same time.  In fact, everything about us is contrary: hippie and hipster, acoustic and electric, tight and loose, groovin' and psychedelic, Americana and Afro-Cuban, Uptown and Trenchtown, Memphis and Muscle Shoals, Blues and Reggae, Soul and New Wave, Punk and Gospel, Rockabilly and Hillbilly, serious and ridiculous... all colors of the rainbow, and under the rainbow, are welcomed. The lava lamp is always shining and always changing. 

Enjoy.

We hope you find everything delicious. 

Listen to our album LET IT SHINE right now!
Why are these guys wearing Dashikis?

We are back at The Howlin Wolf... otherwise known as THE place to get a cocktail in Fresno; particularly, a whiskey sour. This is OUR beverage of choice when we bring it to The Wolf. Look for a few new originals; and, because we are at a club named after Chester Arthur Burnett, a few new blues songs. As the poster says, get ready to jump, shout, clap, and hollar.

Cellar Door, 101 W Main St., Visalia

Rhastafari!

It all started here. Many moons ago Greasy Dashiki was born at the Bob Marley Birthday Bash. We donned the Dashiki for the first time and promised to honor it with all our heart and soul. Of course that was before Greasy Dashiki got the Boomslangs installed. Yes, the Boomslangs are the Merlin in the engine of our P-51 of a band and you really should hear us now. But, to the point: people, people, people... show your love of one of the greatest musicians ever by coming out and hearing 3 great bands who happen to be dear friends. We'll be doing a few extra tunes for the night.

There are not a lot of places that welcome roots music. Here is a brand new venue that is just about the most inspiring nightclub we have ever seen in Fresno. Gorgeous Art Deco interior, a killer bar, killer mixologists and real stage that actually features the band. We cannot wait to bring our Greasy mix of Soul, Blues, Gospel, N'Orleans and Reggae to this fantastic venue. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW.

brother dave is gone

On march 3, david lindley passed away. it is hard to put into words what an effect mr. dave had on john and i and how much greasy dashiki was inspired by his music, his philosophy about life, and his fashion sense. when we first heard el rayo x (the blue album) in the late 80s we celebrated what was possible when you rejected formula, defied genres, embraced irony, and had a good time. he might be one of the best examples of the phrase coined by morgan heritage: "no haffi dread to be rasta." dave mixed all of our favorite flavors together and always made it groovy and interesting. we will miss him so much and our hearts are heavy. we love you dave and we know you are up there watching us and laughing at us. 

Hold up partner!

Thank you for visiting our site!

Before you leave, if anything is indeed delicious to you, please join our mailing list below. That way, we can let you know where we are playing, what new songs we have, what merchandise you might be interested in, etc.

We want you to be part of the Greasy Dashiki family.

Peace and Love
