Ruahine Rangers at Club Night

Ruahine Rangers at Club Night

The Ruahine Rangers

What a great performance by the Ruahine Rangers from Palmerston North at the Levin Folk Club last night.

A surprise addition to this talented group with the inclusion of Andrew Bicknell (Feds) from Wellington playing the double base.

An entertaining mix of Appalchian, bluegrass, country and traditional music wit several original peices – don’t miss an opportunity to see and hear this group.

The first half of the evening had some entertaining performances from local artists with some from places as far apart as Palmerston North and Pukerua Bay.

 

Next month’s guest artist is Laura Collins and the Back Porch Band – see you there

November 14 Newsletter

The Levin Folk Music Club newsletter for November has been published – you can download it to read it here.

This month we have the Ruahine Rangers performing at the club: a four-piece bluegrass band with three members, the Ruahine Rangers are based in the Manawatu. Combining great instrumental skills with slick two- and three-part vocal harmonies, they play a mixture of classic and modern bluegrass, with a leavening of old time, folk, and original music.
