North Carolina's Tony Award-winning String Band

North Carolina State Toast Sheet Music Cover

 

"The Red Clay Ramblers were formed as a traditional string band in North Carolina in 1972 but soon brought a theatrical sensibility to their music-making, teaming up with Sam Shepard for his Off Broadway play 'A Lie of the Mind' in the eighties and scoring a couple of his films. The Ramblers earned a special Tony in the nineties for their collaboration with Bill Irwin and David Shiner on 'Fool Moon,' and continue to invest their country with a little neon." -- The New Yorker, June 28th, 2010


“A musical group whose eclectic repertory is that of a fantasy roadhouse band from a vanished rural America.  Bluegrass, New Orleans, classical folk and gospel sounds emerge in nutty profusion from these talented instrumentalists and singers, whose music making is perfection.” -- The New York Times

 

"A great American band!" -- Sam Shepard

"Wonderful!" -- Garrison Keillor
