"This party is just getting started!!" is something you're bound to hear at a Dirty Boogie show. Between Dance, Pop, Swing/Jump, & Rock, this band plays it all with style. From The Bodeans to The Stray Cats, to Prince to Earth Wind & Fire and even Johnny Cash there's something for everyone. Make plenty of room on the dance floor with these guys.

This hot new trio has brought their show to festivals and clubs across Wisconsin including: Milwaukee Ale House, Zoo Ala Carte, Riversplash, & Derby Days. After just two years, Dirty Boogie has already established a great reputation in the entertainment industry.

A fun, energetic, entertaining show is what you'll get every time with this band. So remember, when Dirty Boogie is in the house you'll know "This party is just getting started!!"

The Guys:

Ben Janzow:

I live in Waukesha where I enjoy walking to work
everyday, biking, hiking, chai tea, cooking Thai food,
Spotted Cow beer, watching The Office, I also make an
amazing Mocha.

I started playing guitar and singing in bands at
age 13 doing shows in basements and backyard parties
playing songs like "You Shook Me All Night Long" and
"Talk Dirty To Me" (why am I still playing these
songs!)

I'd like to meet: Kate Hudson, Jack Black, and the
original lineup of Foreigner.

Would like to travel to: Hawaii, Australia, and one
day live in San Diego.

Dislikes: Waiting in lines, overcast weather,
Foreigner, hangovers, food poisoning.

Original career aspiration: Guy getting shot out of
canon in circus. My dream at age 5.

Currently giving guitar lessons six days a week in
Waukesha.

Robb Syverson:

I also live in Waukesha where I enjoy the fabulous
spring water, gardening, surfing the web, playing with
my dog, and barbecuing. My wife and I bought our house
a few years back and are still working on it. Thus,
I've also taken a real interest in power tools. When I
see one I want to use, I find a project for it.

I started playing the guitar at the age of 7 and
performed regularly at retirement homes in my preteen
years (no joke). After high school I got a gig playing
bass in a wedding band which was the big turning point
for me as far as identifying myself with the bass as
my focus for music although I haven't let go of having
six strings.

I'd like to meet: Albert Einstein, Victor Wooten, and
Jack Black too.

Would like to travel to: Norway, Thailand and one day
live in Jamaica.

Dislikes: Long car trips, non-factorable polynomials,
and Celine Dion

Original career aspiration: To be the Incredible Hulk
or to be an exotic car sales person.

Currently, in addition to my music career, I'm working
as a high school math teacher and have my masters
degree in Educational Technology.

Tom Hagen:

I live in Waukesha where I own a money pit,
have a wife, 3 children, 2 insane dogs
and a small pet turtle that gives me funny looks all the time.
I spend my time fishing, motorcycling, outdoor cooking
and playing the COWBELL, I got a fever.

I got my start playing drums at 3 or 4 years old.
When my first kit wore out, I used pots and pans for drums
and eventually advanced to using vinyl albums for cymbals.
In middle and high school I played in the school bands
as well as the Waukesha South marching band -
yes I wore that goofy hat with the feather in it.
I've been playing in bands continuously since high school
(taking time out for meals of course!)
Dirty Boogie is the 15th band I've been and and is my favorite.

I'd like to meet: Buddy Rich, Ringo Starr, Mel Blanc
and the telemarketer who keeps calling me so I can smack him one.

I'd like to travel to Australia, Europe and back to Hawaii,
someday maybe to live in Nashville

Original Career Aspiration: Catching guitar players shot out
of circus cannons "CANNONBALL!!!" (stay after a show to understand
this one)

Dislikes: Long lines, flat tires, mosquitoes, fiberglass underwear
and getting caught with my pants down in the middle of Main Street

Currently, I'm a journeyman carpenter by day, drummer by night
and someday hope to find the time to share my talent and teach drums.
(I do have a part-time temporary on call job as a fill in for "Captain Chaos")
