Custom guitar by Bob Shade

The Dirty Dollars project was originally a party gig.
Brent has always been a prolific writer, creating an
overflow of material. “I would pull out my acoustic
guitar at parties and play these country and
rockabilly songs,” he recalls, “My buddy, Doug who
owns a bar called The Celtic House Pub goaded
me into playing a set there.” The gig was such a
success, and one turned into several, enough that
it built momentum. “The guys in Reno at the time
were resentful,” he adds, “There is no other way to
put it. They wanted a distinction between the two;
it kind of evolved into a band that was doing its
own thing instead of a solo gig. I could have easily
incorporated the two guys into what was becoming
the Dirty Dollars easily if they had been willing to
think outside of this punk rock mold.”
If it were not for the Sin City epiphany, Brent
believes that he would still be spiraling down the
rabbit hole of addiction. How ironic, to find the light
in a city notorious for the darkest of distractions.
Reno Divorce has just completed a successful
European tour, and is headed back out for some
U.S. dates this fall then back to the U.K. in the
summer of 2017 for the much anticipated Annual
Rebellion Punk Festival.
