2019 album. Bluegrass.
Our Overview.
Some things have a magic all their own. The musical collaboration between Ronnie Bowman, Don Rigsby and Kenny Smith is one of these things. These three men made music together in the 1990’s as members of The Lonesome River Band (whose landmark album ‘Carrying The Tradition’ was released on Rebel Records nearly thirty years ago), the Band of Ruhks re-unite Ronnie Bowman, Don Rigsby and Kenny Smith, while adding former LRB banjoman Brian Fesler, to a band that straddles the line between bluegrass favourite and roots music trailblazer with ease.
The band’s second album (produced by Ben Isaacs), and first for Rebel Records, is a showcase of both the band’s love for bluegrass, while greeting the future with a sneaky grin. Appropriately entitled Authentic, the album is filled with nearly all originals, performed with sincerity and passion.
