Group is known for authenticity and straightforward honesty
The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are the recipients of the The Smithville Fiddlers’ Jamboree 2025 Blue Blaze Award.
“Formed in the Smoky Mountains in 2014, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys have made a significant impact on the bluegrass music scene. They are known for their authenticity and straightforward honesty, which resonates deeply with their audience,” according to a release by the Jamboree.
The group has successfully brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, showcasing their versatility and dedication to the genre.
“When I hear The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys I’m taken back to when I first fell in love with this music. Each is a master of their craft, but it’s the special joy they take in playing it “the old way” that commands your attention. This music hails from a time before people saw bluegrass and country music as separate things, and the band accomplishes that most difficult of musical tasks by capturing the manic energy of their live shows in the studio,” said John Lawless, Bluegrass Today.
Po’ Ramblin Boys will be presented their official award Saturday, July 5 at 5 p.m. at this year’s festival, followed by a one-hour concert.
“The Jamboree is free to the public so that we can continue our mission of preserving bluegrass music, Appalachian craft & dance,” according to the release.
This year’s Jamboree will be July 4-5, 2025, on the square in Smithville, Tennessee.
