Red Dirt Road Concert

Please join us on Saturday September 30th at 7pm as we welcome RED DIRT ROAD to the JCC in Sherman!

Red Dirt Road will entertain you with their Americana / Western Swing & Red Dirt Music.

Doug Mathewson started Red Dirt Road in 2006 and had gigs at the Towne Crier as well as local events. He was invited and performed 4 times at the yearly North Texas Songwriters Festival. The Red Dirt Road band all met at the Sherman Song Swap!
First, Susanna Marker, Pat Walker and Doug. Then they added Bill Petkanas and Missy Alexander. After that – Pete Nelson, Marty Finch and Nancy Janutolo.

This is a truly a local ground roots band and we are thrilled to have them perform here at the JCC in Sherman!

Red Dirt Road performs original Americana music and a few covers.
