A Rick & The All-Star Ramblers Western Swing Band performance is a high-energy, entertaining, and danceable trip back to a Vermont of a simpler, more musical day. A time of live radio, touring musical revues, and family values. A Rambler show is fraught with Vermont-grown original music, classic western swing chestnuts, and top-notch musicianship. Each of the Ramblers is an excellent musician in his or her own right. Together Rick & The Ramblers deliver an exceptional musical experience, loaded with laughs, musical memories, surprises, and sweet harmonies.
