Thrilled to release “Bounce Back Baby” and “Soul Shake” with Michael Des Barres! It’s been a blast working with Michael on these songs. We began writing songs together back in 2021 and slowly but steadily get them out into the world. Stay tuned for more but check out what we’ve been up to so far on Music!

“Still Dirty” is out now on Wicked Cool Records! Hear what people are saying so far…
“Kris Rodgers & The Dirty Gems has created a terrific and consistent LP. Still Dirty has showcased the uniquely dramatic and romantic lead vocals which rock the upbeat numbers and touch your heart when performing a ballad. This is music the world can use.” – Kenny Laguna, Producer (Joan Jett)
“From the opening romp of “She Likes to Party” to the ballad “Across the Galaxy” and the absolutely righteous take on Elton John’s “Take Me to the Pilot,” there’s not a dud to be found on “Still Dirty.” – Portland Press Herald
“Listening to the Portland-based outfit’s new LP, “Still Dirty,” is the sonic equivalent of opening your windows for the first time after a long cold winter.” – The Maine Edge
“…if you love early Rock, Blues, and the music of the 60s and 70s like me, this album will be a welcome antidote to our difficult times.” – Glide Magazine
“All things considered, they make Still Dirty one more of this year’s top new independent albums.” – Phil’s Picks
