Episode 31 Part 2 Featured Live Musical Guests
The Dimes


The Dimes are our featured guests in this Episode 31 pt 2 of the MastanMusic Hour. Constantly on tour, the Dimes present a well polished and intriguing acoustic set of original songs. All of the songs they perform are from their new CD The Silent Generation released August 25th to a packed house of adoring fans at club Holocene in Portland, OR. The CD features an inspired set of songs based on depression era newspaper articles found in guitar player Pierre's house. Much like the "paperboy on the corner", the Dimes offer slice of life and stranger than fiction stories in their hook laden pop. Hear the stories behind the songs and join Ryan, Johnny, Pierre and Jake in one of The MastanMusic Hours best acoustic sets to date. Scroll down to the Part 2 section of this webpage to read more about The Dimes and to hear the entire show.

See The Dimes performance in the MMHour 31 Part 2 Video Single of their beautiful song "Catch Me Jumping" recorded and filmed live from MastanMusic Studio in Portland, OR.
