Foot Stompin’ Psychedelic Jamgrass: Rumpke Mountain Boys to Headline Top Hat

Hailing from Cincinnati, OH, psychedelic jamgrass quartet Rumpke Mountain Boys will make their way to Missoula for a headlining concert at the Top Hat on November 8, 2018.

The Rumpke Mountain Boys combine signature vocals, a unique command of string instruments (acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass and banjo) and dynamic special effects into a singular musical experience. An emotion filled musical stream of consciousness with no setlist, minimal structure, and intuitive improvisational flow. In this way, they summon the energy of the crowd as their guide in linking just the right music to precise moments in time.

Grateful Dead Hour host David Gans proclaimed, “One of the things I love about the Rumpke Mountain Boys is that there’s a fundamental honesty in their presentation. This is something they share with my other heroes, Donna the Buffalo and the Grateful Dead. They don’t make set lists ahead of time, they don’t rehearse their songs to a fare-thee-well– they perform in real time. All four of them write, which is very important, and they draw songs from a tremendous variety of sources… being a musician is a life-long learning experience, if you’re doing it right, and they are.”

Their most recent work was 2016’s release High Time, Low Tide, which was the band’s 4th self-produced album.
