heres what Americana Rhythm had to say about us
Red River Rollercoaster
new cd "life Today"
These five musicians from
Harrisonburg sure have a lot
of fun doing what they do.
And Red River Rollercoaster’s
new CD, Life Today, their
third, is some of their best
work to date. Although some
consider their music “alt.
bluegrass,� it’s more an eclectic
mix of bluegrass, roots,
jam, and country folk rock.
Either way, it’s good stuff. And
lead singer Chris Howdyshell
tells me there’s love in the air.
He and fiddle player Mariana
Bowling, are getting hitched.
“To me this is an Americana
fairytale,� Chris said.
we play original country-bluegrass-alt-lovins
we play fast and we have fun. come see us live and youll have fun too!!
thanks for checking us out.
deep in the Shenandoah valley lives 5 common folk, just like you! anyway these folk play music for fun and money! they call themselves The red river rollercoaster - a long name they're sticking with... why? we ask ourselves that same question sometimes.
look for us in your town ; come to holler, have a good time, and celebrate life.
Hi guys! Could we get a CD from you guys for review? It needs to be from 2008. If you have anything new we'd love to hear it! We'll be seeing you at shows! love!!
Hey RRR!!! I just saw that we'll all be at the Evergreen Festival, Cool... We'd love to come over and play Clementines w/Ya'll sometime... and maybe you'll stop by the Little Grill in June? Soyhero opens for us. Melissa
Good luck on Friday at the release show! The new stuff sounds great. Maybe we will run into you on 29 Saturday, we are heading to Forest Va, up near Lynchburg way.
Guys! I'm gonna miss your record release! Hope it goes well, I know it will. When are we gonna do some big party together? Do you guys know when OCP Lawn Jam is this year yet? We'd love to do a big onstage jam session with some Rolling and Coasting Red Rivers. Love to you guys,
Happy Valentines day.
We have a new record and a new band member and there are three chances this week to hear the band live in Virginia and West Virginia!
Come celebrate life alone or with your lover... we promise to play some really sweet lovesongs and some really great jaded songs of separation, all guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Best,
