The BooHoo Ramblers are a roots-oriented band from Atlanta, Georgia with over 6 years together playing original & cover tunes that blend Country, Folk, Rock, and Bluegrass styles, a.k.a., Rockin’foot-stompin’ Americana. The BooHoo Ramblers have released 2 full length CDs of original material: the self-titled debut The BooHoo Ramblers in 2004 & Other Side of Heaven in 2007. With 400+ shows in venues large & small, including a 2008 tour of Ireland, the group, whose natural chemistry allows for unpredictable tangents and spontaneous arrangements, rarely uses a set list as they hammer through unlikely medleys, experimenting with variations. Clark Ashton employs a hard strumming right hand in conjunction with a tambourine stomping left foot to set the pace for Pete Frisina’s integral driving bass lines while Patrick Mitchell solos on fiddle. Often the band is joined on stage by dobro, mandolin, banjo, drums, or guest vocalists that offer depth and texture to the core groups tight sets. Upbeat and highly stylized versions characterize the interpretation of cover material of familiar tunes by artists ranging from The Carter Family to Jethro Tull. Original songs are written by Clark who serves as the leader & spirit guide for the group
