Preview of Bluegrass Band The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys at the Kate

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, is pleased to welcome The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys on Friday, February 14, 2020 at 8:00 pm.

Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the boys are as much at home riding in their 1965 GM Tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results.

“I think to a certain extent everyone is just craving music that they can feel, and any music that feels real will reach any audience” says CJ Lewandowski, the group’s founder, “We want to put bluegrass right where it’s least expected”. Their debut Rounder Records album, “Toil, Tears & Trouble,” was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album at the 2020 GRAMMY Awards. The band previously was named International Bluegrass Music Association's 2018 Emerging Artist of the Year Award.
