Anytime we can see live music on the historic Valhalla Estate's lawn, we're there.
Sunday's band, Red Dirt Ruckus, is described as, "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."
Wouldn't you know that the long awaited, and desperately needed, Summer rain came just as they were to take the stage? With some protective 'breaks', the show provided us with enough music for us to become fans of this band.
"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."
And when they did Tom Petty as a Bluegrass song, I was hooked. See for yourself here. WOW.
