Biography:

D Play is a band that encompasses all which is music. Any genre, any style, all generations, D Play can keep a room jumping no matter the situation. We pride ourselves in diversity and the ability to connect with the crowd to give them the absolute best musical experience possible. From weddings, to clubs, to festivals, to corporates, to casinos, and anything else, D Play has been known to do it all with great success. Dirty Play has opened for the likes of Zebra, Sister Hazel, Bonorama, Charmaine Neville and many more. They have performed success high profile venues as Harrah's in New Orleans, Hard Rock Live in Biloxi, Island View Casino in Gulfport, Imperial Palace Casino in Biloxi, Boomtown Casino in New Orleans, Ponchatula Strawberry Fest, Morgan City Shrimp and Petroleum Fest, Generations hall, Biloxi Blessing of the Fleet, Gobblepalloza in Gulfport, Bridgefest in Bay st. louis, and many, many more. We have also played numerous wedding and corporate events all across the Gulf South. Few groups, if any, carry the pedigree, the energy, and the pure intent to lift a room quite like these guys. This “Supergroup” (As called by “The Sun Herald”) has found the perfect match of talent, energy, and song selection. They combine the electric new sounds with the proven old feel, the old touch with the new edge, bridging the gap of generations, not only in the band but with their fans. They are out for one reason, to make the building move, and boy can they."

“The Most Amazing Night and band I’ve seen in along time. D Play is one of the best bands around right now…” – Colleen Read (Special Events Promotion for the likes of Baywatch Hawaii, Wyland, and Grand Casino. Club owner of Club 90 in Gulfport, MS in 80’s. Created and coordinated the Summer Music and Arts Fest in Biloxi, MS in Early 90’s)

Diverse, unique, authentic, and dirty. D Play is the band for any situation, anywhere. See you at the show.

Press:

“Dirty Play is very busy these days and has several shows booked into the spring. Dirty Play is indicative of the changing face of local music. Hozey has already established himself around the region but hasn’t aimed both barrels at the South Mississippi scene for some time. Local music fans already quite familiar with his father, Johnny Hozey Sr., are in for a real treat if they’ve never met Hozey Jr. He’s got the chops to back it up and a drive to succeed rarely seen in local musicians of his generation. The members of Dirty Play are no strangers to hard work. Chuck Lofton, is one of the most sought-after vocalists around. Johnny Hozey Sr. is a household name among local music lovers. He was a member of the former FULL FX band with Steve Rayburn. Coupling both of them with Lofton is a match made in gig heaven. Change is inevitable in any music scene and this one is more than welcome.”
