The Blue Water Ramblers take turns harmonizing with each other to create a colorful tapestry of sounds. “Banjo-Jim” Foerch on his acoustic and electric banjos and R.H. “Bear” Berends on his big Marten guitar are the core of the Rambler vocal and writing team. Then add “California Dan” Lynn laying down the steady rhythm on his doghouse bass and what do you get: the unique Blue Water Rambler sound. In their performance you will hear the Rambler quartet singing and playing from their Americana repertoire of songs (originals & covers), expressing a unique take on our lives of “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”. Bring a lawn chair, drinks, and snacks!
