Music Stage
Back at the Ranch
|
There’s a new group "hubbin' it" in the swing realm, Back At The Ranch. An amazing group sure to demand your attention, BATR delivers a swinging blend of music with Clover Carroll on guitar and resophonic guitar, Rachel Carroll on upright bass and Matthew Menke playing fiddle. The effortless ease with which the combo performs their classic selections will, as Red Steagall says, "knock your hat in the creek!" Their upbeat stage presence and hilarious antics blend seamlessly together with pure harmonies and professional musicianship for a top-notch performance. The music of Back At The Ranch is a polished repertoire of Western Swing and Cowboy tunes.
