THE RUMPKE MOUNTAIN BOYS offer an unparalleled musical journey filled with emotional vocals, impressive command of various string instruments, and captivating special effects. This energetic quartet takes a unique approach to their performance, relying on the energy of the crowd and intuitive improvisational flow to guide their music in real time.
David Gans, host of the Grateful Dead Hour, praises the honesty and authenticity of the Rumpke Mountain Boys, who, much like Donna the Buffalo and the Grateful Dead, don’t rely on setlists or rehearsals. The four members write their own songs, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of sources. In this way, they constantly expand their musical abilities.
This talented band has made a name for themselves with electrifying performances at festivals across the country, such as the Northwest String Summit and the John Hartford Memorial Festival. They have collaborated with various renowned artists, including Leftover Salmon, Del McCoury, Yonder Mountain String Band, and Ralph Stanley. With an ever-growing fan base, the Rumpke Mountain Boys show no signs of slowing down.
DUPREE’S DEAD BAND is a dynamic tribute to the iconic music of the Grateful Dead. With a passion for capturing the spirit and improvisational energy of the Dead’s live performances, Dupree’s Dead Band delivers authentic renditions of classic tunes while also infusing their own unique flair. Comprised of seasoned musicians with a deep love for the Dead’s extensive catalog, Dupree’s Dead Band captivates audiences with their soulful jams, psychedelic grooves, and tight-knit musical chemistry. Whether you’re a die-hard Deadhead or a newcomer to their legendary sound, Dupree’s Dead Band invites you to join them on a transcendent musical journey through the timeless songs of the Grateful Dead.
