   About Moon Mountain Ramblers
The Moon Mountain Ramblers

The Moon Mountain Ramblers (Acoustic Americana) from Bend, Oregon have been taken the high desert by storm. Ramblin' in from all parts of the territory, the Moon Mountain Ramblers have drawn five musicians together to create an original high desert sound and a soulful interpretation of traditional bluegrass, jazz/swing and country tunes. With two albums (Moon Mountain Ramblers '02, Borderline '04)already under their belts the Ramblers have started touring outside of central Oregon to help promote their newest effort “Let It All Be Good” due out Summer '08. The band is also pleased to welcome the addition of their newest band member Dale Largent (of Taarka) on djembe and percussion.

The Ramblers consist of Dan McClung slappin' the upright bass and blowin' the harmonica, Jenny Harada playing the fiddle, Joe Schulte choppin' the mandolin and singing along with Matt Hyman pickin' the guitar and singing with Dale Largent holding it down on percussion.

Press About the Moon Mountain Ramblers:

"The Moon Mountain Ramblers, a string band from Bend, have created their own soulful interperation of traditional bluegrass, swing muisc and country music. Listen to their tunes and you'll hear Djengo Reinhardt-flavored acoustic jazz or counrty rock a la Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Laurie Heuston (Tempo, Mail Tribune)

“The Best band I saw at 4 Peaks on Sat. was Bend’s own Americana string band the Moon Mountain Ramblers”. Ben Salmon (music reporter the Bend Bulletin)

”They're self-described “high-desert soulgrass”. Built on more of a jazz and blues, than bluegrass foundation, the combo likes to embark on polyphonic sprees and improvisational interludes”. (Joe Ross, music writer Bluegrass Now)

Voted the "Best Band in Central Oregon for 2004" by The Source Weekly
