This enormously talented original Bluegrass group from Albuquerque has been heard across the globe.
Radio stations in The Netherlands, Australia, Slovenia, Ireland, and France and all over the United States have played and loved the music of Elliott’s Ramblers. And why wouldn’t they? It’s an entertaining show and like the business card says, “Great old Bluegrass in a Brand New Way.” The vocals are strong and sweet, the picking reflects years of polish and you will hear ballads and instrumentals and great originals that have made them favorites at Bluegrass festivals all over the Southwest.
Founded 23 years ago after Elliott Rogers met his wife Janice who had been singing gospel and harmony as a child, moved back to town from his formative songwriting years working with the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Lucinda Williams and others in Austin TX, it was then Wayne Shrubsall joined the group on Banjo. Wayne has recorded and played with many great Bluegrass stars and is a master at his craft. This bedrock trio has added Claude Stephenson on Mandolin and are glad they did. Claude puts the RAM in Ramblers!
