Ocean State Ramblers Live in Concert @ William Hall
The Ocean State Ramblers play bluegrass music that’s fun and upbeat yet relaxed and sometimes sentimental. You’ll find yourself tapping your toes and singing along when you catch this friendly fivesome at local farmers markets, libraries, concert series, pubs, and events. They put their homespun brand on bluegrass standards and bluegrassy folk and country favorites. The Ramblers have a knack for songwriting and their original songs are a highlight of every OSR show. It’s enjoyable music, pure and simple.
Free and open to the public. Registration is not required but those who register will receive an email reminder three days before the event.
This event is generously funded by a grant from the DeGuilio Family.
