In House #1789: Colorado's Whitewater Ramble Live

Fort Collins-based jamgrass (dancegrass? technograss?) quintet Whitewater Ramble return to the show today, in town for a performance tonight at Portneuf Valley Brewing in Pocatello. Relative newcomers to the scene having formed in 2004, the band has steadily gained a following through heavy touring and opening slots for names like the Dark Star Orchestra, Jerry Douglas, and the David Grisman Quintet. While the band's live show tends toward a progressive form of bluegrass, complete with electric mandolin shredding solos, they're not afraid to strip down (instrumentally speaking, of course) and bring out the classics with gusto. Case in point: today's set sees them performing high energy renditions of a genre standard, a Stanley Brothers classic, and a rootsy original. The band will be touring Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Colorado through the end of February, with a trio of DVD release shows at the end of the month as the band issues its first audio/visual product, commemorating a hometown show on Halloween of last year.
