Eight Dollar Mountain at Common Block Brewing – Medford
October 20 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Rising from the Cascade-Siskiyou Mountain range of Southern Oregon comes Eight Dollar Mountain, an exciting, high-energy bluegrass quintet. The group effortlessly blends whitewater-fast rhythms, tasteful harmony arrangements and plenty of low-end thump for a live performance that is sure to get crowds dancing and hollering for more.
Eight Dollar Mountain serves up neo-traditional bluegrass blended with old-time country, blues, and gospel harmonies, to audiences up and down the West Coast. Their hard-driving rhythms pull you onto the dance floor, while their clear, purposeful sound reflects the traditions of mountain music.
The group started in early 2010, after members happened to go to the same bluegrass jam in the hills outside of Ashland. The guys each shared a similar passion for bluegrass, newgrass and old-timey music, so after pickin’ on a few standards, the group’s formation seemed natural. Hailing from all over the United States, each member contributes a distinguished improvisational style, creating a fresh bluegrass sound that’s unlike any other.
