The Roadside Ramblers

In Utah, you will be hard pressed to find a really good, authentic and energetic New Orleans style Dixieland Band; however, The Roadside Ramblers is just that.  When you hire the band you get good old fashioned, banjo pickin, tuba blowin, trumpet screemin, Drum tappin, sax wailin, traditional jazz music the way it was meant to be played.

The band got its start when tuba man Steve Call, Banjo Extraordinaire Josh Payne and soprano saxophonist Michael Tobian were playing Dixieland tunes on the roadside.  The rest is history.

The Roadside Ramblers is a 6 piece band but can be made smaller to match a tight budget or limited space.
