  • Bio

    .. "The Ramblers sound like an ’80s update on Creedence, and their first album led to a support slot with Levon Helm." - Time Out New York, Sep 3 2009, Joe's Pub show preview .. "Raucous, bluesy alt-country fronted by Jersey boy Jeremiah Birnbaum, a rabbi's son with a touch of whiskey burning his soul. The band released their eponymous debut album in 2008 and have since rambled their way into an opening slot for Levon Helm. Tonight they celebrate the release of their latest album, 'Getting There'" -New York Magazine, April 14, 2010, Joe's Pub show preview .. "As smooth and palatable as the finest Tennessee sippin' whiskey...their very own distinguishable brand of soul music fused with the sweetest elements of Americana.... The band's strength lays in a gritty, feel-good roots sound that can't fail but to stir the soul and warm the blood. The Ramblers flourish in a live environment, feeding off of the raw, muddy atmosphere and delivering the type of un-shackled music that has stood the test of time. In our current climate, who couldn't use the pick me up!?" -Joel Crane, www.rebelspiritmusic.com .. "I caught The Ramblers' performance two weeks ago at Joe's Pub where they featured songs off their debut release as well as some new numbers. The captivating four-piece wowed all in the venue with their versatility as many around me could be seen dancing in their seats...The way the band segued from heavier rock 'n' roll to soul, country and folk was impressive. One moment the listener felt he was in a small, New Orleans jazz club and the next, Nashville at a dirt-filled honky tonk — no small feat for a band...The Ramblers had much to offer their audience. Whatever music you favor, The Ramblers are sure to please one of your desires." Annie Reuter, NY Examiner, Sept 16, 2009, www.tinyurl.com/ramblers-examiner .. The Ramblers are a New York City-based Americana-rock band. After the release of their 2008 debut album, "The Ramblers", at Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble in Woodstock, the band toured the US, and continue to play steadily in New York at venues such as Living Room, Mercury Lounge, Rockwood Music Hall, and Joe's Pub. Their latest album, "Getting There", was funded through fan contributions in conjunction with www.pledgemusic.com and recorded in 5 weeks. ......

  • Sounds Like

    "...What do they sound like? Like a rock band who knows their history. There are driving rockers like “Letter To Elissa” and the opening title track (with some terrific slide guitar), funky workouts (especially “Matter of Fact”), and country-ish tunes like “Can’t Take Back A Kiss,” and “These Blues Weren’t Meant To Survive.” There are even shades of the E Street Band that surface when Scott Stein’s piano and keyboards accent things just the right way. It’s no wonder that Levon Helm brought them in as support act. "I’d be willing to bet that a group of ten reviewers would come up with ten different labels for this band. I’m hearing an extended version of Little Feat…with a touch of Bruce, and Tom Petty, and The Band, and some more alt.country influences, and, and, and… "Look, just grab yourself a copy of Getting There and crank up 'Leave A Letter Behind.' That opening riff coming out of Jeremiah Birnbaum’s guitar? Honestly, that’s all you need to hear." -Mark Saleski, Blogcritics.org
