Biography

Diablo Dimes is Blues, Americana, Ragtime, Boogie Woogie, Dixieland, Rock n' Roll...
Self described as 'Honkytonk, hooked, hop, hophead heebies, and a full orchestration at a barrelhouse!'
It's no wonder one raves about his unique sound, and  memorable performances, like no other.
Dimes has played extensively from coast to coast, like butter and toast for all types of audiences. From CBGB's or Mo' Pitkins' in New York to Slim's in San Francisco to House of Blues or Tipitinas New Orleans to The Viper Room Los Angeles... Played em' all and then some. He's warmed up stages for the likes of Chuck E. Weiss & The G-Damn Liars, The Radiators, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, The Iguanas, Royal Crown Revue, Cashed Out, Lady Dottie & The Diamonds, Mad Juana, Mike Ness, Chris Whitley, Nervous Cabaret, G Love, Jake LaBotz, and Leon Russell to name a few.
This is a sincere, primitive, and nostalgic approach most songwriters only dream of. With a smoky freight train for a voice box Dimes is an authentic seasoned multi instrumentalist.
In the last few years, Dimes has managed to have his music featured in a myriad of expression. HBO's  original series, 'Mind of the Married Man'. Twice featured on TLC's 'Miami Ink'. Six months airplay on national college radio charts. And a featured performance on long time friend and collaborator Chuck E. Weiss' new album, "23rd & Stout" on Cooking Vinyl Records. Not to mention numerous independent films, play productions, and musicals.
Most recently, a live performance of Dimes was featured in the filming of  new Travel Channel reality series scheduled to premiere in 2010. He always thrills his company, weather it's an intimate solo juke joint holler, the carnival like one man band Medicine Show, or with The Bloodhounds. A true original, raw and passionate, with enough charisma to fill a concert hall or... a dirty jukejoint brawl! Ya' won't be disappointed.
