Red Dirt Ruckus performs Jan. 31 in Minden.
The Carson Valley Arts Council presents an evening with Red Dirt Ruckus at 7 p.m. Jan. 31 at the CVIC Hall, 1602 Esmeralda in Minden.
“From deep in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada comes a toe-tapping, hip shakin’ sound that can’t be pinned down,” according to their press. “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.”
This five-piece band rides a blend of original music by songwriters Doug “Not Josh” Neal on lead vocals-guitar-mandolin and Dan “Mad Monk” Abbott on lead vocals-bass.
Brought to life with the fiddle skills of back up vocalist Lisa Bond, spiced up by Jared Collins on sousaphone and trumpet, and held down by Rob Keedy on drums and percussion.
