The Rambler's are one of the first popular Country Rock bluegrass bands in Miami and the Redland for years.

They are a true American band, perfect for July 4th. Arlene Morgan is the leader and vocalist/guitar along with her husband Roy "Chubby" Morgan playing his rip-roaring fiddle; along with Harold Spewick keyboards/vocals and Luc Williams guitar and vocals.
