Red Dirt Ruckus

From deep in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada came a toe-tapping, hip shakin’ sound that couldn’t be pinned down. With a healthy dose of bluegrass, a sprinkle of reggae and a big-ole spoonful of funk, red dirt ruckus has been leaving crowds smiling with their own brand of “foothill rudegrass” for almost a decade.  Red Dirt Ruckus rides a high-energy blend of original music by songwriters Doug Not Josh (vocals + guitar + mandolin) & Dan “Mad Monk” Abbott (vocals + bass). Brought to life with the fiddle skills of Lisa Bond, spiced up by Jared Collins on sousaphone and trumpet, and held down by Rob Keedy on drums & percussion.
