Newly released, Live From The Big Sky. Recorded Live in August 2008 at the Zebra Lounge in Bozeman, Montana. Also includes and a special bonus cut recorded live at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre during 2008 Ramble on the River festival featuring Henry Butler on piano and Pete Wall on Saxophones. Includes the originals Purgatory Shuffle, Pack Mule Blues, Drawing Straws and Kaleidoscope. Featuring cover interpretations of Michael Jackson, BB King, The Grateful Dead, Bill Monroe and More.
Formed in 2004 and self-described as "High-Octane Rocky Mountain DanceGrass",
WhiteWater Ramble uses a simple recipe to craft it's sound - bluegrass instrumentation, add drums, and a boundary-less approach to grassing-up everything from house grooves to reggae.
The Colorado-bred quintet combines the elements of Mandolin, Fiddle, Acoustic Guitar, Upright Bass, Drums and Vocals to explore the musical boundaries of multiple genres to fuel their own mixture of original music and innovative cover song interpretations. Whether playing an intimate encore, acoustic and unplugged in the crowd, or surfing on top of the upright bass, WhiteWater Ramble delivers a powerful and memorable live performance.
"With a list of influences that reaches into every corner of contemporary music, from reggae to blues to country and beyond, WhiteWater Ramble pushes the boundaries of the form way past the edge. It ain't your grandpappy's jug-band music anymore, now it's jam-grass." ~ The Boulder Daily Camera

“WhiteWater Ramble's strongest point is versatility in style. While often billed with bluegrass bands, the band is not bluegrass in a strict sense. Bluegrass is merely one tool in Whitewater's shed to get the booty
shaking.” ~ The Rocky Mountain Bullhorn
Their debut album, Red Alert! Live, is a live compilation album and has opened to high acclaim and rave reviews. See what the critics are saying….
“You got funk in my bluegrass! You got bluegrass in my funk! WhiteWater Ramble is one of the hardest working and technically talented bluegrass
bands in the area.” ~ The Fort Collins Coloradoan
“Red Alert Live is an impressive exercise in jamming, song writing and musical energy, and much like the WWR live experience, will have you coming back for more. ~ The Scene Entertainment Magazine
