Biography:
Talent, hard work and a certain unity of spirit are the key ingredients that make a band successful. The Desert City Ramblers possess exactly that – the shared creative vision that encompasses so much more than lyrics and chords.
Each band member could be a solo force, but there’s just something about the chemistry when they play together that transcends their individual gifts. “The entire band was formed by one person knowing another, who knew another…the same way old West gangs came together back in the gunslinging days,” says lead singer Brian McComas.
The Desert City Ramblers’ sound is hard to pin a label on. It combines a gritty Southern Rock edge and blistering musicianship with the kind of compelling storytelling that is the foundation of old school country music. As a former Top 10 solo artist, McComas had begun writing songs reminiscent of the ones he grew up listening to by the Allman Brothers, Roy Orbison, the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd. “I realized: these are not songs for a solo artist. It’s is going to take a group of musicians that relate to this lifestyle.”
The Ramblers pick and chose their live performances carefully, but if you do get the opportunity to see the Ramblers it’s a show you don’t want to miss.
