Eight Dollar Mountain with Bekkah McAlvage at Cedarwood Barn

Eight Dollar Mountain – Southern Oregon’s own Eight Dollar Mountain has been delivering their high-energy take on bluegrass for over 15 years to audiences up and down the West Coast. Their hard-driving rhythm pulls you onto the dance floor, with a clear, purposeful sound reflecting the roots of mountain music, blues, and old time country. The seasoned quartet weaves together a compelling blend of original music, traditional tunes, and fun cover songs, all with a fresh, dynamic approach that’s uniquely their own. Eight Dollar Mountain sounds familiar, like the tunes coming from grandpa’s back porch, yet their energy carries the bluegrass tradition into the 21st century.

Bekkah McAlvage plays relentlessly, traveling to far flung mountain and coastal towns throughout the region both as a solo performer and with the all-women bluegrass band she performs with, The Rosa Lees. While her core remains bound to connecting with other musicians she meets and befriends through music, she also loves to connect with her audience through the shared experience of live performance.
