There's something about the music of The Po' Ramblin' Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po' Ramblin' Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the Boys are as much at home riding in their restored Eagle tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, and even the GRAMMY Red Carpet, with stunning results. "I think to a certain extent everyone is just craving music that they can feel, and any music that feels real will reach any audience," says CJ Lewandowski, the group's founder. In addition to Lewandowski, who sings and plays mandolin, Po' Ramblin' Boys band members include Jereme Brown on banjo, Josh Rinkel on guitar, Jasper Lorentzen on bass, and Laura Orshaw on fiddle.
