One Dime Band is a dynamic and talented acoustic duo who have crafted their unique sound and songwriting approach by blending influential styles of Blues, R&B and Soul. They have played in and around the Boston/New England area as a duo and as a 4-piece electric band for many years.

Paul and John’s love of American Roots music started in New York State where they first met in High School, teaching each other Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly songs at the age of fifteen. The next year they formed their first band and began to incorporate Blues numbers into their repertoire.

Musical fate led them to Boston, MA in 1986. Their goal was to write and perform music professionally, so they formed a Blues band called The Roadhouse Sheiks, playing live extensively (even hosting a Blues jam at Jonathan Swift’s in Brighton, MA) into the early nineties. The two eventually went on to pursue separate musical endeavors, ultimately reuniting as a duo in early 2000, focusing on acoustic Blues.
In June of 2017, after more than 2 years of writing, recording, and mixing, they released their debut album of twelve original songs, Gonna Take Sweet Time, on their own label, Toneblanket Records.

Hoodoo & Holy Water, their follow up album, was recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound in Waltham, MA. Engineered and co-produced by Rob Ignazio, released in February of 2020, it received notable recognition, including Blues Music Fan Radio’s Top 20 albums of the year and Blues Music and Metronome Magazine’s Top 20 lists of 2020.

Winners of the 2022 Boston Blues Society Blues Challenge solo/duo category and the 2023 Granite State Blues Society Challenge. The Duo returned to Memphis and made it to the Semi-Finals at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2024.

On February 9, 2024 they released their 3rd album, “Side Hustle”.

Size: 130,3 MB
Time: 55:57
File: MP3 @ 320K/s
Released: 2020
Styles: Electric Blues, Blues Rock

01. Hoodoo & Holy Water (5:00)
02. Something Good (Feat. Johnny Blue Horn) (5:07)
03. Facing Yourself (6:51)

One Dime Band embraces a modern take on the blues with the giddy “Hoodoo & Holy Water”. Sung with true fire the whole of the album has a massive, all-consuming tact to them. By embracing such an incredible swinging rhythm, the collection positively teems with life. Instrumentally rich they incorporate a wide variety of sounds into the mix, from the fanfare of the horns to the rustic harmonica right down to the limber guitar lines. Full of such passion, they burn through these tracks with the utmost of power. Best taken in as a singular whole the songs work together to create a vast narrative one that feels so real.

Setting the tone for what follows is the peppy approach of the title track and opener “Hoodoo & Holy Water”. The sprawling ambitious atmospherics of “Facing Yourself” have a shadowy, noir spirit to them with the sound seemingly wafting up into the infinite. An air of defiance emerges with “Nobody’s Dog” where a playful disposition dominates. Beautiful “Mama’s Chair” looks back on one’s upbringing with such delicacy and decency, full of love. Dreaminess follows through the whole of the surrealist scope of “Salaryman” where the dub-influences roll through with ease. Effortlessly bringing the album to a close is the intimacy of the finale “Little Time”.

“Hoodoo & Holy Water” reveals One Dime Band to be true masters of their craft taking a classic sound and bringing it into the present.
