Fuse traditional bluegrass and a little bit of acoustic jazz and the outcome is Two Dollar Shoe Revival Story.
The band has a traditional sound and goes back to the roots of bluegrass, said Charlie Rose, Lawrence senior, who plays banjo and guitar for the band.
Its sound is similar to other popular string bands right now, such as the Yonder Mountain String Band, Rose said.
Rose started playing with Cody Walters and Adrian Erlinger, who both played bass and guitar for the band, about four years ago. Then about a year ago, the band added Brad Maetas, mandolin and bass player, and Adam Galblum, Lawrence senior.

Galblum, who plays fiddle the majority of the time and mandolin the rest, enjoys playing the classic tunes that never die, he said.
The goal of the band is to become a progressive, acoustic-string band, Rose said.
"Two Dollar Shoe is a way for me to just learn a bunch of great tunes and play it with my buddies." he said.
Some of the band's inspirations include Bill Monroe, Dave Grismond, Bela Fleck and Charlie Parker, Rose said.
The band plays mostly traditional tunes, Rose said, but members are working toward writing some more original material.
The name of the band comes from the Woodie Guthrie song "The Lonesome Road Blues." The song states, "The $2 shoe hurts my foot. It takes a $10 shoe to fit my foot," Rose said.
The Two Dollar Shoe Revival plays the song "Cold Winters Morn" on Tuesday March 4 at the Bottleneck. Charlie "Chuckwagon" Rose is on guitar; A. J. "Clamp" Erlinger is on mandolin; Brad Maestas upright is on bass; and Cody Walters on the fiddle make up the band.
Two Dollar Shoe plays regularly at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., on Wednesday nights. The band also plays at other locations in Lawrence and has traveled as far as Boulder, Colo., and St. Louis. Rose said they also liked to play on Massachusetts Street when the weather was nice.
Playing in the Lawrence music scene is something he enjoys, Rose said.
"Everybody knows each other," he said. "You've got a high concentration of good musicians. And the music is thriving and growing."

"It's very accepting," he said. "Everyone likes music and supports musicians."
