Roots folk and country from Glasgow and Paris via Berlin

Two dollar bash are a Berlin-based acoustic folk/country/blues band. They have two albums on the Cannery Row Records label, “Two Dollar Bash” and “On the Road”, and have toured extensively around Europe and North America.

„great original songs, fine musicianship and a wealth of influences ... Ex-buskers all, the four wield their different combinations of guitar, drums, mandolin, banjo and the rest to beguiling effect. Intelligent lyrics tell of loss and longing, love and friendship, and always, of packing bags and moving on“ Jane Cornwell, Jazzwise

”Fresh from their riotous and rapturously received appearances at this year's South By South West festival (Austin) and Canadian Music Week (Toronto), this three parts Scottish to one part French quartet are ready and raring to continue their plan to take the roots/Americana world by storm.
Their blend of folk, country and blues combined with gorgeous three and four part harmonies has won them critical acclaim as well as several prestigious awards. The band's constant touring has honed their craft and the songs are ample proof that their time in the transit van has been justifiably spent.” Mick Gaffney, Properganda Magazine

“Two Dollar Bash … intuitively pick up on the nuances of American country, folk and rock that can trace a direct lineage back to the folk music of their own countries. They have a natural instinct for simple, haunting melodies, with narratives revolving around road trips, ailing relationships and the eternal internal battle of good and evil.” Lolo Wood

“This group … is pretty folky in their approach to music, but it’s the same kind of original folk creativity that Bob Dylan had when he started…Two dollar bash could easily be country, but I like their folky approach to their music. They have a banjo, but it’s not bluegrassy. Some really strong acoustic guitar. Lots of energy in their work, and some very poignant words in their lyrics. Bob Everhart, Tradition, USA

“This is good ol’ time American music. There is blues, folk, country and chugging R’n’B in here. The auras of Canned Heat, Woody Guthrie, Neil Young and Springsteen waft on the breeze. And... there is an echo of the Rolling Stones’ down-home bluesy vibe...This is classic big skies and barrooms music.” Nathaniel Handy, Songlines
