   About Red River Rollercoaster
Red River Rollercoaster is a Alt bluegrass country folk blues band playing original music in the Shenandoah valley and well beyond. their newest cd "life today" has 12 songs of love and hate. more love than hate. check it out. and Chris howdyshell continues to make music on his own with his rock opera "the girl who died Mysteriously and a christmas song "heard them bells" check out Doug and Dave in there other band SPOKE.

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 are taking a break from playing live but we'll return some day look for all of us in other projects. check out spoke! and chris howdyshell is always doing something interesting and mariana and chris are going to be parents soon. so enjoy all the wacky stuff we do.

the christmas song "heard them bells" will be on an OCP christmas cd coming out soon check it out and buy one all money goes to support the OCP
