The Band

The Mon River Ramblers first began playing their unique blend of bluegrass all throughout the streets of Pittsburgh in the early stages of 2006. Moving From their humble beginnings of pickin’ on street corners and avenues around the city, the ramblers began to get noticed and started pickin’ in bars and venues around the Pittsburgh area.

The Ramblers have polished their sound with a mix of different genre’s of music to create their take on bluegrass music. Their mix of traditional bluegrass, rag-time, jazz, blues, folk, punk, and rock infused with tight pickin’ keeps their brand of fiery bluegrass music innovative and fresh. The Ramblers music is a mixture of original compositions, soaring harmonies, and an innovative approach to improvisation that brings their music full circle. The Ramblers are city boys trying to bring fast-pickin’, high energy bluegrass music back to Pittsburgh.

In the short time the Ramblers have played together they have shared the stage with the the Infamous Stringdusters, Cadillac Sky, King Wilkie, Greensky Bluegrass, the Grascals, the Emmitt Nershi Band, Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, the Hot Seats, Trampled by Turtles, the Hackensaw Boys, Devil Makes Three, bluegrass hall of famer Mac Martin & the Dixie Travelers, the Two Man Gentlemen Band, Hoots & Hellmouth, Crooked Still, Hot Buttered Rum String Band, the Grammy nominated Greencards, and the Grammy award winning Cajun band, the Pine Leaf Boys.  They won the 2011 Delfest band competition.  They also competed in band competitions at the 2009 Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Delfest 2.
