John Scalia is a native of Louisiana, and has been performing shows all over the continental US ,and then some, since 1998. As the full 5 ( sometimes 6) piece powerhouse band, they have performed for US Troops in Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Qatar, Dubai, and many other “undisclosed” locations for troops on combat front lines. Along that 27 year timeline, they earned a solid reputation for putting the audience first. “No Un-Shaken Booty Left Behind” has been their proud mission statement.
The Roosevelt in New Orleans La, The White Water Festival in Canon City CO, The Loud American in Sturgis SD, Isla Grand Beach Resort in South Padre Island TX, Sun City MusicFest in Las Vegas NV, The Bottleneck Blues Saloon in Vicksburg MS , Tortola and St. Johns BVI, are just a few of the many places John Scalia and the Dirty Word has performed and made valuable memories.

They have also proudly performed at the Loud American Roadhouse for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally since 1999 !

John has a 27 year track record for bringing a tight , polished show, featuring high level vocal performances, and goes a long way to arrange a professional A+ talented band and a production that is nothing short of magical.
