White Water Ramble
High-Octane, Rocky Mountain DanceGrass
Formed in 2004, WhiteWater Ramble's high-octane DanceGrass/Jamgrass is deeply rooted in bluegrass, funk, jazz, swing, techno, rock, reggae, country and blues while exploring the musical boundaries and fusion of these genres. The quintet's makeup of mandolin, acoustic guitar, fiddle, upright bass, vocals and drums fuel it's tightly improvised material. As much as the band creates its own style, the style creates itself. The music is dependent on the moment, honest, and respectful to the road behind.
