Kris Rodgers started The Dirty Gems in 2011 as a throwback piano rock n'
roll trio. The trio quickly formed into a full rock outfit in 2014, resulting in their first single, “Headlines” being featured by Little Steven Van
Zandt as “Coolest Song in the World” on Steven’s Sirius/XM radio station “The Underground Garage.” 2017 was the year that Kris Rodgers took center stage on his solo, full-length debut, “Losing the
Frequency”. Stand out, sing-a-long tracks reminiscent of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and Billy Joel’s “Glass Houses” include,
“Revolution”, “I Know”, and “Rock ‘n Roll Radio.” Kris Rodgers delivered an album of 70’s inspired arena rock gems, bashing piano keys with a raspy-throated growl that transcends to FM Radio Album Oriented Rock’s heyday. In\018 Kris and The Gems signed with Steven Van Zandt’s Wicked Cool Records, releasing “Every Little Crack” on limited
edition, glow in the dark 7". Look for the new full-length record on Wicked Cool Records in the Summer of 2020.
