LIVE RAM
New single Every Month
“When I step onto any stage, there’s no choice but to give it everything regardless of the audience size or weeknight. “It’s a Saturday Night” will always be a love letter to the community that supports & performs local live music, for the hard-working entertainers (their band, roadies, sound & light engineers, local venue owners & service staff). They show up their best, regardless of what night of the week it is. Because of them, I’m never alone up there.”

Biography
The influences that flow through the Ram’s music are as indiscriminate as the places he’s called home over the past 50 years.
Born in Pittsburgh, PA, farm-raised southwest of Philadelphia, high school in upstate New York by the Vermont border, young adulthood in 1990s NYC, called to the Pacific Ocean in 1999, in love with the Eastern Sierras in 2017. Motion and wanderlust have always been a constant.
Working with different sounds, technologies, instrumentations, arrangements, engineers, musicians. No one preferred genre, no one preferred guitar or harmonica. Just a driving heartbeat, a feel, a groove behind an articulate human voice. A badass soundtrack for life.
