Tarbox Ramblers: Deep Blues Festival: Summer 2008

Taking listeners to a place where rock, primitive blues and Appalachian music come together in powerful and unexpected combinations, The Tarbox Ramblers have made a name for themselves with a rough-hewn, direct sound thats been praised by Rolling Stone, All Things Considered, The New Yorker and more.

Playing with the ease and familiarity of musicians who understand each other's deepest impulses, these gifted interpreters of traditional music have also written a growing number of startlingly good original songs. With this band, that means a lot happens quickly: at any given Tarbox show you'll hear thickets of backwater guitar, followed by waves of fierce percussion and crazy-ass drum-and-vocal songs. From a whisper to a roar - with what led The Washington Post to describe them as "a force of nature" The Tarbox Ramblers' astonishing inventiveness keeps their music vital even as it continues to evolve.
