It all started when…

There was this party - you know, one of those friendly Texas Hill Country get-togethers, where you have a couple of beers and someone pulls out a guitar… and all of a sudden you’re ready to hit the road with your tunes, right? So, on this night, a bunch of us fun-loving friends were over at Steve’s and Gloria’s place having a belly-laughing good time; Steve grabbed his bass, Gloria and (founding member) Bruce were on guitars, and Gail got behind the drums. Somewhere in that first tuneful jam between the free-flowing beer and “we sound awesome”, Gloria, Steve, Gail, and Bruce kinda smiled. We’d all jammed-out together plenty of times before, but this felt different: we might just have something here.

Our good friends and singing galpals, Jamie & Laurel came on board to add more vocals, trumpet and percussion, which brought a whole new dimension to the band. A few years and lots of gigs later, although we've said good-bye to our friends Bruce, and later to Billy, and Glenn who moved on to other projects, we’re happy that an old friend of friend, Matt Schulte, brought his upbeat vibe and skills on guitar, to refresh the focus for the band. The Ramblewoods adventure continues! Because there’s really nothing better than making and playing music with friends.

We are The Ramblewoods and we hope you enjoy our Hill Country-inspired tunes as much as we enjoy playing them for you!
