Magic Marc Productions presents "After Woody Guthrie and Before Bob Dylan, There Was Ramblin' Jack Elliott."
Five-time Grammy-Award Nominee, Grammy-Award, Best Traditional Folk Album, 1995 South Coast, Grammy-Award, Best Traditional Blues Album, 2009 A Stranger Here and National Medal of the Arts, 1998 President Bill Clinton proclaiming "In giving new life to our most valuable musical traditions, Ramblin' Jack has himself become an American treasure."

Welcome for one night only and first local appearance in over 15 years, one of the last true links to the great folk traditions of this country, with over 40 albums under his belt and well over 50 years of Ramblin' the world, Ramblin' Jack is considered one of the country's legendary foundations of folk music.
Long before every kid in America wanted to play guitar - before Elvis, the Beatles or Led Zeppelin - Ramblin' Jack had picked it up and was passing it along. From Johnny Cash to Tom Waits, Beck to Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder to Bruce Springsteen, the Grateful Dead to the Rolling Stones, they all pay homage to Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

"Nobody I know-and I mean nobody-has covered more ground and made more friends and sung more songs than the fellow you are about to meet right now. He's got a song and a friend for every mile behind him. Say hello to my good buddy, Ramblin' Jack Elliott." Johnny Cash, 1969.

Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Lyrics and Music by James Loney

Ramblin' Jack Elliott was a guitar man

He drove 900 miles thru the promised land

With his cowboy hat and a J-45

He made it thru the wreckage telling secrets and lies




A folk singer's dream is the stars at night

A bottle of bourbon and a lonely light




Ramblin' Jack Elliott was a mystery man

He ran out of the shadows of a New York land

With his razor sharp wit and his trademark smile

Sang the words from the canvas

Make you see a million miles




A folk singer's dream is the stars at night

A bottle of bourbon and a lonely light




Ramblin' Jack Elliott knew the secrets of song

He knew how to pick 'em, damn the right or wrong

He respected the spirit, he respected the truth

From This Heart of Mine to the Cocaine Blues


A folk singer's dream is the stars at night

A bottle of bourbon and a lonely light
