Two Dollar Bash is a stylistically diverse acoustic country-rock band rooted in the folk-rock of Bob Dylan and the Band, as well as the country-folk of Townes Van Zandt and Emmylou Harris, not to mention some European influences, particularly the Celtic tradition.
While based in Berlin, where they are affiliated with Canary Row Records, the bandmembers -- Tony Rose (guitar, vocals), Matt de Harp (mandolin, harp, guitar, vocals), Mark Mulholland (banjo, mandola, guitar, vocals), and Joe Armstrong (guitar, bass, vocals) -- are originally from elsewhere in Europe; namely, Scotland and France, and played together over the years in various formations before coming together as Two Dollar Bash in 2003. After self-releasing their self-titled full-length album debut, Two Dollar Bash signed to the Berlin-based independent label Canary Row Records, which released their second album, On the Road (2007), and reissued their self-titled debut album later in the year. In 2008, the label released Two Dollar Bash's third album, Lost River, while the band toured both North America and western Europe in support of the album, including a performance showcase at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. ~ Jason Birchmeier
