American Blue Dirt ™️
See what we’re gettin’ into!
The Band
Born in Estes Park, Colorado, in the sun and shadows of the Rocky Mountains, Ain't From Here is a regional touring band dedicated to bringing their own style of country music to the masses. The "fellas from 'round the way" have dubbed their sound "American Blue Dirt" and use heartfelt lyrics to tell stories of living, loving, and leaving. The style is a clever mix of Texas Honky Tonk, Oklahoma Red Dirt, and Colorado Bluegrass with soaring harmonies, ear-catching melodies, and tasty jams that approach the listener from every angle. The band calls Larimer County, Colorado home although all members are from different parts of the country which means….they Ain’t From Here.
