Upcoming Shows
Mount Pisgah Arboretum is a 209-acre nature education facility where visitors can explore the ecology of the southern Willamette Valley. As a nonprofit organization, we depend on support from members, donors, and volunteers to care for our trails and facilities, and to provide learning opportunities for the community.
Rockin the valley for 10+ years
Classic, Roots, Americana
Our core group:
Patrick Kavaney- guitar & vocals, Mike Gelardi-keys & vocals, Jeff Alberts-drums, percussion & vocals, Kris McBride-bass & vocals, Dan Parslow-guitar & vocals. Also pictured is Ray Merrill sitting in for Jeff in Oakridge.
Playing in Eugene and the Willamette Valley for many years, The Dubious Rubes has entertained crowds in many local venues and parts beyond. We play Americana; those songs we appreciate within that genre, as well originals from Patrick Kavaney that blend into that milieu. Think Watkins Glen or the Fillmore West, or maybe even Ronny Scott's; we try to capture that element and provide our crowds that spontaneity and energy...every show.
We play small footprint shows as a duo(Patrick & Mike), trio (Patrick, Mike & Kris), and a full lineup as stage space and venue allow.
Our concept is also to frequently play with a variety of guest musicians. It’s always a thrill to add another voice to the mix, and we try to tailor shows to highlight our guest. Always a high energy show you’re sure to enjoy!
