Blue Water Ramblers in Concert

The Blue Water Ramblers write and sing traditional music with modern themes. Their repertoire comes right out of life experiences while living in Michigan and touring throughout the Great Lakes region.

The unique Blue Water Ramblers sound comes across in styles folky to bluegrass, Americana to roots. There is something for everyone to appreciate in a Rambler show!
