Bottom Dollar Boy$

About Me

Been Pickin' Bluegrass since 1975! The Only Bluegrass Band required to have a warning label!
WARNING: (Please read before listening to BD Boy$): In 1988, six (6) copies of a Bottom Dollar Boy$ Cassette were introduced into the Soviet Union by persons (who will remain unknown) participating in a "Sister City" program between Tallahassee, Florida and Krasnodar, Russia, USSR. Note that barely three (3) years after the BD Boys were heard in the USSR, it became known as the FORMER USSR.
WARNING: Bottom Dollar Boy$ can be hazardous to your country! (Especially totalitatian regimes)
Bottom Dollar Boy$ have performed their own style of Bluegrass and Ol' Country for over 30 years. While paying great respect to the "Founding Fathers" (the Great Monroe, Stanley's, Flatt & Scruggs, Jim & Jesse, Reno & Smiley, etc) they are not shy 'bout exploring original and unique aspects of this great American art form! The band gets its name from their normal economic condition.
