The Blue Water Ramblers share traditional songs of Michigan, America and YOUR life. Their repertoire comes right out of Michigan life experiences and the history of the Great Lakes region. It includes shanties, ballads, humor, love songs, gospel music and children’s ditties.

Everyone agrees that these combine into a versatile repertoire to the delight and entertainment of their audiences. “I think my hero, Woody Guthrie, would approve,” opined Banjo-Jim. “We’re singing the people’s songs about the people’s lives and they can join right in and sing along.”

Since 2002, The Blue Water Ramblers have been writing their own songs and take turns harmonizing with each other creating a colorful tapestry of sounds. Performances include a unique take on life in styles folksy to bluegrass, Americana and roots.
