“Between the fiddle, string bass, drums and slide guitar, you won't know what hit you” - The New Yorker

The Tarbox Ramblers’ sound is rooted in hillbilly music, backwater blues and early rock ‘n’ roll.

It’s rough-hewn, joyous, and unfailingly direct.

The group is led by songwriter / guitarist Michael Tarbox, and features violinist Daniel Kellar and the hard-hitting rhythm section of string-bassist Johnny Sciascia and drummer Jon Cohan.

The Ramblers have released albums on the Rounder label, played clubs and festivals throughout The US and Europe, and worked with heroes like Robert Plant and Allison Krauss.

'If the Rolling Stones had happened 10 years earlier, hailed from Memphis and been produced by Ike Turner, they might have sounded like The Tarbox Ramblers.

The way the Ramblers lay down their backroads grit and raw hillbilly-rock jive, you're unlikely to hear a more genuine blast of sandpaper rhythm and roots.' - Tristram Lozaw, The Boston Herald

'They take forgotten music and breathe a freshness into it that lights up the room, causing folks to take a collective leave of their senses.” - Steve Morse, The Boston Globe

'Homemade rock ‘n’ roll with a dose of rattlesnake venom and gospel-drenched howling.” - NPR’s All Things Considered
