  • Bio

    The Corn Desert Ramblers are an acoustic band out of Champaign-Urbana. Their inspiration stems from the fathers of Bluegrass (Bill, Earl, Lester, Ralph...) as well as a plethora of other creative acoustic artists (Tim O'Brien, John Hartford, Doc Watson, Sam Bush...) and everything in between. The group launches from the traditional Bluegrass repertoire, expanding into the realms of gypsy jazz, blues, and "newgrass" soundscapes. Playing all around the Champaign/Urbana area and into the greater midwest, The Corn Desert Ramblers are a rousing "Traditional Newgrass" band pickin' and grinnin' the only way they know how--Chambana style.
