The Midnight Ramblers Performing At The Pickin' Porch


The Midnight Rambers: (L-R) Marcus Johnson - Abram Mullins - Austin Boggs - Cherise Bates
 
The Pickin' Porch Show is a live, two-hour Bluegrass music show that features some of the very best local and national Bluegrass bands in the country. Last night's show featured The Midnight Ramblers, a group of four outstanding young performers from right here in southwestern Virginia!

Although still teenagers, these young folks really know their way around Bluegrass music. Their vocals are strong, clear and true to the genre, their instrumental work is simply flawless, and they have a stage presence that belies their youth. They're equally entertaining whether their blazing fingers are pickin' a barnburner like Bill Monroe's "Rawhide" or they're singing one of their very own original touching ballads. I have seen The Midnight Ramblers perform twice now, and last night's show simply confirmed the unbelievable talent they had demonstrated the first time I saw them!

After being written off for dead not all that long ago, Bluegrass music is back and even more popular today than it was back in hits heyday, and much of the credit for its revival goes to the many fine young singers and musicians across the country - and the Midnight Ramblers are among the cream of the crop!
