Al's rig | The New Blacktop Ramblers | TEDxMarionCorrectionalSalon 2014

Newgrass music originals from TEDxMarionCorrectional.The New Blacktop Ramblers started when they were asked if they would like to play some Newgrass music. Two weeks later with some positive feedback from passersby, the boys found that they had made something new and old at the same time. The guy on the mandolin was exposed to Newgrass growing up and his musical interests have stayed there. He is proud to hear that the new Bluegrass music is still in keeping with the old traditions. The guy on the guitar has been playing different genres of music for as long as he can remember. In this band everything ‘clicks’, which makes all that practice worth it. The guy on the bass says Newgrass music is a new endeavor for him, different from his usual HEAVY metal. This type of music is challenging and pure fun to play. What’s not to love?!?! After TEDxMarionCorrectional the band will continue ramblin’ on down that road.
