The Dirty Clean are a rock and roll cover and party band based in Folsom, CA. A party with The Dirty Clean will have you dancing with a journey of rock and pop music from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s with occasional flashbacks to the 60’s and 70’s – usually with a modern twist. You’ll hear fresh takes of Neil Diamond and Tom Petty classics to 80’s pop favorites to 90’s grunge to 2000’s pop punk to the latest favorites. If there's a specific flavor your party needs, we can work together to find the perfect recipe!

Check out our song list (link hidden) to get a sense of the musical vibe we can bring. We're happy to work with you to fine tune to your liking.
Before, after and during breaks we'll provide music through the PA to keep the party going.
We are happy to provide a mic for announcements.
While we have lost flexibility in our muscles and bones, we've gained flexibility with our minds. We're happy to work with you to make your event the best it can be.
The Dirty Clean are: Zack Zaballos (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Jim Brock (Guitar, Vocals), Chris Ragagli (Guitar, Vocals), RJ DeSanto (Keyboards, Vocals), Mark Olson (Bass, Vocals) and Dan Johnson (Drums – Dan is on a strict no vocal diet). Caleb Brock occasionally fills in on guitar or bass if anyone has a hemorrhoid flare up.
Our band members have toured with major acts like Journey, Ben Harper, Huey Lewis & The News, won a Sammy award, and have played in local churches, theater productions and around campfires. Our collective experience means you’re getting a top notch show that’ll make your head bob, your feet move and your face smile.
A setlist from The Dirty Clean will take you on a journey of rock and pop music from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s with occasional flashbacks to the 60’s and 70’s – usually with a modern twist. You’ll hear fresh takes of Neil Diamond classics to 80’s pop favorites to 90’s grunge to 2000’s pop punk to Harry Styles favorites. And always with a mandatory stop at Tom Petty, as required by law. If you’re looking to hear a re-hashed cover of Mustang Sally – that ain’t here.
We'll bring professional sound equipment/PA and some lighting for the band.
We typically will need 2 20 amp circuits within ~50-75 ft of the stage.
For outdoor events, a covered stage area is desired if the temp is over 90. We may bring popups as needed.
We will need parking for the band including a 20' trailer which carries the band's gear.
For load in/setup, we'll need relatively close vehicle access to the stage area. We prefer to load in about 3 hrs before the event, so we can setup and perform sound check before most attendees are present.
