We recorded these tracks in early 2020, before the global pandemic that would bring about profoundly difficult and disruptive times for the global music community. More than two years later, we released these recordings at the beginning of a new era of hope and optimism for the future. We dedicate these songs and tunes to musicians and music fans everywhere.

about

While these songs and tunes come from a variety of traditional music sources, both old and new, our goal is to play them as traditional string band music in a style reminiscent of early country music heard on old 78 recordings and in the early days of radio broadcasting.

about

Cary Street Ramblers Richmond, Virginia

The Cary Street Ramblers formed from a weekly old-time jam hosted by Tripp and Jenny Johnson at the old Cary St. Cafe in Richmond, Virginia. Our style is built around the traditional songs and tunes of Appalachia, but also draws from a broad collection of musical traditions from other regions. At its heart, the band is five friends having fun playing music together. ... more
