| The
Cave - the oldest bar in Chapel Hill - was sold out before the show
even started. We hate that many folks couldn't get in and missed
the show. Check the calendar and catch
the next one.

"All
the ingredients were in place for shows that offered both variety and honest-to-God
entertainment. 'I think playing's about expression,' Hicks states, and
he and the other Ramblers' fondness for performing as opposed to just tossing
off notes earned them an even bigger following."
"...When Craver, Hicks and Watson get together under the name the Original Red Clay Ramblers, it's truth in advertising on two levels: It is three of the original members (Joe Newberry, a strong clawhammer banjoist and singer, sits in the late Tommy Thompson's seat), plus you'll hear the sound that characterized the Ramblers in their early days. A laughing Watson comments on another element, the identification factor: 'We like playing music with each other, but if we're going to play, we also like people to show up. So by using that name, it lets people know who we are.'" ...Rick Cornell, Durham Independent Weekly |
