Four of the six have been friends and bandmates since the early 80’s. The members have combined forces\, with over 200 years of professional musical experience\, to produce a series of themed shows to highlight the best music from the past six decades. The Ramblers (there is no Dusty!) are well-versed in many styles including jazz\, folk\, pop\, classical\, rock\, and blues\, and they know how to entertain an audience. \nThe show for 2026 is titled ‘The Softer Side of the 70s – A Folk-Rock Tribute\,’ and through-out the three hour concert the band performs hit songs that grew out of the folk music craze of the sixties and developed into the soft rock of the seventies\, combining folk with rock\, country\, and blues styles. This blended style further grew into the Roots/Americana music of the nineties. \nWith tight arrangements by Tim Peterson\, spot-on vocals by Marjorie Shelito\, rock-solid rhythms laid down by Ray Swinsick\, Pete Fair’s infectious bass lines\, and the soaring solo virtuosity of keyboardist Brian Brill and lead guitarist Delbert Walling\, the Ramblers will re-mind you why you loved the music of the 70s so much. Sing along\, smile\, tap the table\, or get up and dance – join us in celebrating the great music of the 1970s! \n\nCash Bar and Refreshments Available URL:https://sturgesyoung.com/event/fsn-dusty-rhodes-and-the-ramblers-band/ LOCATION:Sturges-Young Center for the Arts\, 201 N.
