  • Bio

    The Moon Mountain Ramblers.. The Moon Mountain Ramblers have always stayed on the creative edge of acoustic music. This increasingly popular group (voted best band by readers of local paper, The Source Weekly, in 2004, 2008 and 2009), has consistently been one of the hardest working and most successful bands of Central Oregon for almost a decade. Even in a town that has a strong and fast-growing music scene which brings in plenty of tough outside competition, the band continues to sell out the hottest venues in town whenever they play. They have toured the state with success and are devoted to expanding there territory with each coming year. MMR has twice hosted their own Moon Mountain Music Festival and are now searching for a new location to host the festival in years to come... ..At first glance, the Ramblers may look like a traditional bluegrass band, with classic instruments such as upright bass, fiddle, mandolin and acoustic guitar. But with the addition of full percussion and musical inspirations with no boundaries, this band has truly found there own unique niche in the world of acoustic music... ..If you attend a show, or listen to any of the bands albums, it won't take long to recognize the variety of musical influence this band uses to create their ever-growing library of original music and creative covers. With tasteful flavors of Celtic, Bluegrass, Jazz, Latin, Rock and more, MMR can most closely be labeled as an Acoustic Americana, Jamgrass Band... ..The Moon Mountain Ramblers have had the honor of sharing the stage with such great acts as: The David Grisman Quintet, Del McCoury Band, John Reischman and the Jaybirds, Jackstraw, the Gourds, Hot Buttered Rum, New Monsoon, Sneakin’ Out, Taarka and others... ..Press About the Moon Mountain Ramblers:.. Voted the "Best Band in Central Oregon" in 2004, 2008 and 2009 by The Source Weekly.. "The Moon Mountain Ramblers, a string band from Bend, have created their own soulful interpretation of traditional bluegrass, swing music and country music. Listen to their tunes and you'll hear Django Reinhardt-flavored acoustic jazz or country 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).. "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).. Review of "Let it all be Good" from Ben Salmon of The Bulletin (Bend, OR) .. “Schulte’s title track is a joyous blast of rock ‘n’ roll… . Harada’s 'Chasing the Sun' is a new-traditional fiddle tune that will flutter it’s way into your heart.  Hyman’s songs are the twangiest of the bunch, evoking visions of cowboys and campfires.  And McClung’s instrumentals incorporate a little jazz, a little swing, and a whole lot of Middle Eastern flavor on the 11-minute-long jam 'El Serpiente.'” (GO! Magazine, Jan. 23, 2009.).. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Myspace Editor.. - ..Image Hosting....

    Acoustic Americana, Jamgrass. Like if David Grisman and Jerry Garcia met with Creedence Clearwater Revival, left there electric instruments at home and made music together around a whiskey inspired campfire!
