WhiteWater Ramble : Debut Album Members of TLG, HBR, RRE Guest

LONG AWAITED DEBUT ARRIVES AUGUST 30

Whitewater Ramble

High altitude jamgrass champions WhiteWater Ramble have announced the release of their debut album, All Night Drive, produced by the highly regarded musician and producer Tim Carbone from Railroad Earth, and featuring a stellar cast of guest artists including Steve Molitz ( Particle, Phil & Friends), Josh Clark (Tea Leaf Green), Erik Yates (Hot Buttered Rum), Grant Gordy (David Grisman Quintet), and in-demand session saxman Pete Wall on saxophone.

For a band whose sound has always been steeped in psychedelic interpretations of bluegrass music, the choice of partnering up with Tim Carbone was the logical choice to helm the WhiteWater Ramble debut project.

“Tim Carbone was WWR’s captain during the recording of All Night Drive, bold and tireless in getting the right performances from the band. His encouragement and support kept morale high in otherwise stressful situations,” says WhiteWater Ramble fiddler and vocalist Adam Galblum. “His studio expertise ensured that we were getting the best sounds for this record, and we felt comfortable deferring to his artistic judgement. While respecting the already-established parameters of our band, Tim knew what he wanted from us, and was clear in communicating how he wanted it. We appreciated that.”

On the flipside, when asked to recount the highlight of working with the Colorado jam rock quintet on their latest album Carbone said, “WWR have their feet planted in more than one world. More than two if you count such things – sometimes all at the same time! No matter which world you prefer; bluegrass, rock, electronica or the myriad combinations, WWR will take you there on a fantastic ride!”

WhiteWater Ramble will perform select rocky mountain regional headlining dates with special guests in support of their new album.
