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

Join us in Downtown Placerville for an early performance with the Red Dirt Ruckus Trio!

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.
