RUCKUS TV

The multiple times Red Dirt Ruckus has played our venue, they've taken us into a realm beyond time where nothing else matters but completely surrendering to the joyous spirit of their music.

The passion they pour into their songcraft and instrumental chemistry is a beautiful thing to behold.

WTH IS A RED DIRT RUCKUS???

It's a funky freight train CHOCK full of foothill flava!

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.  RDR 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.
