Here's where we'll be performing next...

    

September 1, Monday afternoon, 12:15-1:30pm at The Taste of Hudson. We'll be playing live on stage to entertain the crowds at Taste of Hudson with our own arrangements of folk and old-time acoustic music. The Taste is one of the biggest, and most successful events ever held in Hudson's long history.  You can read more about this and other shows on our Gigs & Events page.

    

This was written for us by Peter Hessman during a  performance at Scott's Folkatorium...

   

Friday evening at the Folkatorium

Musicians setting up their instruments

Talking amongst each other

A handful of audience

   

Food out for the hungry

Now or later

For most now

Sloppy Joes for a sloppy evening

Sound check all done

Instruments being tuned

The ear on the wall listening

 

And away they go

Bluegrass so fine

Sings so pretty

They play so well

They're darn good

Not just ramblin' on

They're for real

Very enjoyable!

Welcome to the Brick Road Ramblers Web Site!

Home Page

   

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!
