This very unique bluegrass band from Irving, Texas has been entertaining audiences throughout the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana for many years. They have played with many of the legends of bluegrass including Bill Monroe, Chubby Wise, Mac Wiseman and Lonnie Glosson. They perform not only traditional country, bluegrass and gospel songs but original works of their own. Their love for music and their instrumental skills show through in every performance.

In 2000, the Ramblers won "Lone Star Legend Award" presented during the Texas State Bluegrass Festival in Canton.

They have released 14 albums and tapes, as well as their first CD in 2003. The band members have performed with Ernest Tubb, Gene Watson, Lynn Anderson, The Whites, Ricky Skaggs, Tammy Wynette, Chubby Wise, Bill Monroe, Mac Wiseman, Jim and Jesse, The Lewis Family, The Country Gentlemen, Mel Street and Marty Robbins.
