About the Band

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.

“Eight Dollar Mountain have created a fertile space for bluegrass to grow in the Pacific Northwest, continuing to help lift the coastal fog with bright string band songs” – The Alternate Root

“There’s so much consistently good material here by the members—featuring fine lyrics and melodies, engaging characters, and compelling situations—that it’s hard to single out the best ones. Just get ready to travel on highways or railroads, enter penitentiary walls or family kitchens, and encounter lovers and pioneers and hobos” – Bluegrass Unlimited

“The group plays with a nice groove and energy, and it’s just plain fun to listen and dance to…you can tell by listening to them that they love what they do.” – Jefferson Monthly

Optional Ticket Purchase.

John Dough Boys

The Best Trashgrass in Southern Oregon

The John Dough Boys are a rowdy boot stompin', bar shaking, PBR slamming band out of Southern Oregon playing a style of original music lodged somewhere between Bluegrass and Punk Rock for the last nine years in different incarnations. A blistering lineup filled with gang vocals, upright bass, fiddle, acoustic and electric guitar… and wait til you see our drummer, folks - it's the sort of music that is best seen live and in person, surrounded by friends and strangers alike. Come get rowdy with the Dough Boys!
