The Midnight Ramblers

	Inspired primarily by the little known movie, "The Commitments," from the 80's about the creation, career and eventual fall of a soul band in Dublin, Ireland, The Midnight Ramblers carry on The Commitments' mantra as "The Saviors of Soul." The movie proved that the great Motown and Stax/Volt era of music is still relevant and fun.

Additionally, the SNL classic comedy, "The Blues Brothers" reinforced that upbeat, big band blues is not a thing of the past. The energy brought to a show by this type of music, while still maintaining musical integrity and delivering a wall of sound as a group, is very attractive to The Midnight Ramblers.

By reviving almost forgotten music, and bringing it to the masses with a slightly updated take, our goal has always been to have fun so that the audience does too. While we take our craft very seriously, we do not take ourselves seriously at all. "HAVE FUN OR GET OUT!"

A note from our founding member... Forming and holding together this project has been an exciting, frustrating, difficult, and joyous experience all made worth while by the times when we get to get on stage in front of an appreciative audience and do our thing. Not only do we work well together, but more importantly we play well together. While rehearsals are a time to accomplish, I think everyone looks forward to spending the time with each other. None of us are the best musicians you're ever going to see, but together we really feel that we've got something very special. We put on the kind of show that I would want to come see again and again. I hope you will too. Ken Bailey, Bass & Vocals "It's all the music you'd forgotten you loved"
