Welcome!
And thanks for stopping by!
You are obviously a bluegrass music lover and we appreciate you checking us out. Just a little history for you - the original Potluck Ramblers got their name as a result of meeting at a potluck music jam (and we still love potluck dinners to this day). Shortly afterward, we began meeting once a week just for fun and we found that we loved all kinds of music, like classic rock & roll, blues, country, folk & even some old show standards; the "Potluck" name seemed to fit even better and soon we began getting gigs (friends heard us and before we knew it, lots of other folks wanted to hear us too). We've been making music now since 2002 and it seems the gigs keep on coming (thank you!).
Several of the original Ramblers have moved on to other musical endeavors but Jim Cowles, Bob Bush and Barbara Friedland have hung in there and now with the addition of Jim Allen on Banjo and Eddie Hysinger on Dobro & Harmonica, the "new" Potluck Ramblers also have a new and exciting sound and we want everyone to hear it. There's more vocal harmony now and lots more instrumental breaks (and the band is having more fun than ever).
The few songs we have posted on our site are recordings from the original Ramblers; the new group will be getting into the studio in the next few months and we hope to post a few tunes for your entertainment. Meanwhile, thanks to all our friends and fans for supporting live music.
Hire a band - music is better when it's live!
Hope you enjoy your visit as you click around our site and remember, we'd love to sing and play for you! Just give us a call and we'll work with you to make your gathering a real success.
To our friends who have visted our site to find lyrics and chords of popular songs - we're having difficulty posting them on our new site and hopefully we can correct that soon. Meanwhile, we hope you'll stop back by now and then, just to see what we're up to!
