Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters

Top Hill Recording Podcast

Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters aren't afraid to shake things up. In the ever-evolving landscape of country and Americana, they understand the necessity of demolishing the old to make room for the new. As the world stood still, caught between history and uncertainty, they emerged with "Heavy Denim," an album that defies tradition with bold experimentation. "Heavy Denim" channels the spirit of musical pioneers like Dire Straits and Alabama Shakes, embracing the unexpected and venturing into uncharted territory. It's a sonic odyssey that transcends genre boundaries, much like the symphonic R&B of Sturgill Simpson. But this evolution is not new for Nick Dittmeier. Hailing from Southern Indiana, he's been crafting his signature sound since his solo EPs, "Extra Better" and "Light of Day." With the backing of The Sawdusters, he's delivered gritty albums like "Midwest Heart/Southern Blues" and "All Damn Day," each song a testament to life on the road. With "Companion (Extended Edition)," Dittmeier invites listeners on a journey from the studio to a live acoustic setting, showcasing his versatility and authenticity. As they continue to tour relentlessly across the United States and Europe, Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters prove that their music defies boundaries and stands the test of time. And with their new EP "Fast Fashion" on the horizon, there's no doubt that they'll be on the road tirelessly sharing their twangy Hoosier music with audiences everywhere.
