Introduction and they're off.

One bass.

One fiddle.

One guitar.

One banjo.

Along with a blending of voices.

  

The Brick Road Ramblers

How good their music

Music one could listen to

All day, all night

   

For the sake of us here,

Please do not stop!

But if you may

Then Thank you Brick Road Ramblers

Thank you

Named for the turn-of-the-century brick roads of Akron, Ohio’s Highland Square where the group first began playing together, the Brick Road Ramblers began performing for folks of all ages in 1996. 

   

Today, the four-member string band can be heard playing traditional, folk, old-time, popular, and original tunes at festivals, parties, cafes, and, on warm summer nights, a fine porch with great acoustics. Come out and see us when you get the chance… we’re sure you’ll enjoy the mix of strong vocal harmonies and acoustic string band music as much as we do. So have fun, tap your toes, and sing along!

  

Here are 6 mp3 tracks recorded live at our last performance at Scott's Folkatorium, a benefit for Scott. Enjoy them with our compliments.
