YOUR GROOVY DJS
We have been running this shindig for almost two decades and we are so happy to have these amazing DJs play for you all day and all night.
Jeff “Mojo'” Miller
Your Host – Virginia Beach, VA
What else can you say about this guy? Not only is he your co-host for this crazy shindig since 2005, but he has danced, taught, DJed, even played at blues & swing events all around the country for over 24 years. A Chicago-native with Blues always in his heart & soul.
It is no wonder he got hooked on Blues Dance after his first exchange. He was exposed to the late nite dancing couldn’t get enough of the groove and passion. He was hooked immediately to the vibe, the crowd, the atmosphere, and the pure thrill of taking dancers on a journey. He now lives, breathes, cries, bleeds, and even plays Da Blues.
Get ready for some traditional Blues, modern Blues, acoustic Blues, harmonica Blues, original Blues, local Blues, and his famous curveball songs that make you question his sanity but also say “WTF? oh S#!&, we gotta dance to this!”
In addition to organizing and DJing at dance events for two decades, he also plays a mean blues harmonica and has sat in with local and national Blues bands across the country. He yearns for one day to write songs & play for you at the late nites.
Jeff “Bunny King” Klein
DJ COORDINATOR • From somewhere in Michigan
Jeff returns to DCBX for his… let’s see… carry the 1… umpteenth year.
Whether it is blues music tailored to dancing on the beach of music for those late nights when you need a boost of energy, Jeff loves curating his playlists to fit the room, the time, the mood, and the venue. He has been DJing for somewhere in the range of 18 years from coast-to-coast and is celebrating his 23rd year of dancing. He loves returning to Virginia Beach every year to renew his deep and meaningful relationship with the reclining chair in Jeff Miller’s living room.
In his free time, he teaches people stuff and likes doing new things. He has also been known to make a fool of himself when the situation calls for it. He is desperately hoping the situation calls for it this year at DCBX.
Bryan “Smoky” Spellman
Dallas, TX
Bryan has been helping organizing and gracing the DCBX DJ tables for well over a decade now and has been a bad-bad-bad enabler for craziness and shenanigans.
At over 6ft tall and broad-shouldered, armed with his trademark raised eyebrow and immaculate attire (if it’s not designer, it doesn’t go anywhere near him). He makes an imposing figure who commands respect. His confident appearance is matched by his masterful control of a good musical mix. Before each set he always powers down the previous track and leads the packed dance floor in a show of appreciation for the out-going DJ.
To watch Bryan DJ is part of the Blues experience. Cocky? Perhaps, but certainly not arrogant. A very precise and confident body language gives a visual indication to what he is playing as he dances out each track.
Greg “Jailhouse” Gershowitz
Charlotte, NC
Greg has been rocking the DJ table since he grew facial hair. His appreciation for music started by rifling through his parents’ vast and eclectic record collection and started experimenting with the controls on their old naugahyde-covered record player.
He is nonetheless a completely self-taught DJ, buying all the music he could with money saved up from a part-time job as a hand model. He learned to appreciate a wide range of music and brings that inspiration to the dance floor.
He took these musical talents and became a well-rounded DJ at several lindy, west coast swing, blues, tango, and wherever event need tunes to move the dancers. Plus he always enjoy brutalizing people on the dance floor, never letting them leave the dance floor, and never stop!
Dave “Danger” Warner
Durham, NC
Would it really be Dirt Cheap Blues if Dave Warner wasn’t there? We certainly don’t think so. Dave is a regular DJ at Dance Blues Friday in Durham, NC, and the Music Coordinator for the Tobacco Road Blues events in the Raleigh-Durham area. He’s played at blues events from New York at Charleston, and he’s making his many-th appearance as a DJ at Dirt Cheap.
Dave continues to dig through new releases from veteran performers and emerging artists alike to keep his sounds fresh and keep dancers connected to the music. Expect to hear something new and exciting from Dave again this year!”
