Ram Foler understands. There just aren’t enough outlets for the working, jobbing musician to be creative, authentic, and artistic. Thusly Ram Foler was born of the necessity for that kind of musical "flexing of the muscles." We care enough to take the time to write, record, and perform music that we want to explore! The members of Ram Foler are all long-time career professionals who have played with the likes of Prince, Chaka Khan, Larry Graham, Huey Lewis, Michael Bolton, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller, Franki Valli, and many others. We hope you enjoy the music! See you soon at the next show!
Thanks so much for reaching out to me... and welcome! It makes such a difference in my day when I see that people are responsive to me and my music. So turn it up and have a terrific day!
Hey, sweetie!!! :) It has been far too long no see... Things here in the desert are 'bout what you'd expect - chilly now that it's under 110 degrees! Glad to see you're finally on here advertising your talent. Love the songs! Hugs and kisses to you, too!
