"After 4 years as a trio, One More Dollar has honed its craft and reputation as a rockin’ roots based folk music group traveling all over the Midwest. Coming from their home base of Springfield Missouri, near the heart of the Ozarks region, this unique musical blend of old and new comes together in what can only be described as Americana of the Ozarks, or as they call it, Ozarkana.

Multi-instrumentalists, Alisha Thomas, Robert Adkison, and Jeremy Myers have an instrumentation that is “something different” yet brings the culture of the Ozarks one foot stomp at a time with fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and cello having innovating arrangements of original music and new takes on Traditional favorites.
