The Dirty Rain Revelers consist of husband/wife duo, Matthew and Melissa DeOrazio, both on guitars and vocals.  The music they make has a kinetic energy that connects to roots and blues, and weaves in the human experience through the songs they share.   Both lifelong musicians, they’ve been playing together for 16 years under various guises and lineups.

Matthew and Melissa are both originally from music towns (DC and Austin, respectively).  They spent 14 years in New Orleans creating, performing, and recording.  To date, they’ve recorded five albums, toured nationally, performed at various festivals, built a home recording studio, and established their own music publishing company.   They have appeared three times on the television series NCIS: New Orleans, together with working on soundtracks and background music for several other productions.
