J2B2 (the John Jorgeson Bluegrass Band) is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary, award-winning musicians: John Jorgenson on acoustic guitar, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo, acoustic guitar and vocals; Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals; and Mark Fain on bass – delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before.
The combination of forces by Jorgenson, Pedersen, Sauber, and Fain form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship, incomparable songwriting, incredible harmony vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest.
The Ramblin’ Bluegrass Ensemble is a super-group of roots-based musicians pulled from active Ohio bluegrass bands. United by a shared love for Appalachian heritage, harmony singing and innovative improvisational acoustic instrumentation, they each share their unique talents to perform a mix of traditional bluegrass covers with a touch of Western swing and original compositions
