Ok, here's another one. The Two Rock Ramblers. This band consists of my wife
Kathi
Carney on bass,
Mark
Hogan on mandolin,
Sue
Walters on fiddle and me,
Chris
Carney doing the lead vocals and playing guitar.
We are all into the older traditional bluegrass sounds of bands like the Stanley Brothers, the Louisiana Honeydrippers, very early Bill Monroe and all those transitional bands between pure old time music and bluegrass. We found that most of the newer bands that call themselves bluegrass aren't really very traditional. That's Ok with us but there are very few real bluegrass bands that are playing in this area (Sonoma County). I can think of only a few. So... we thought we'd like to hear and play and present this older bluegrass, hence the band.
Mark Hogan was a past president and is a current officer of the California Bluegrass Association and founding member of the great bluegrass band "Done Gone". Sue (you may know her from my other band the Lonesome Holler String Band) has been playing bluegrass in the S.F. Bay Area for years, Kathi started playing bass a few years ago and is now ready for the "big time". We'll be making $10.00's of dollars in no time.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun and if you need some real trad. bluegrass come and see us.
When we get something recorded I'll put it up here for ya'll to listen to.
Thanks a bunch!
