The Scramblers
Mississippi has a strong heritage of acoustic string music. It is home to the Delta blues of Robert Johnson,Charlie McCoy, and Mississippi John Hurt as well as the Father of Country Music, Jimmie Rodgers. It has also been the inspiration for an eclectic array of fiddle music recorded by bands such as The Leake County Revelers, The Mississippi Sheiks, and Hoyt Ming & His Pep Steppers.
The Scramblers are a Mississippi string band that built its sound on these strong traditions. They put on high energy performances of traditional and original Mississippi music as well as tunes shared by their friends from the bayous of Louisiana to the college communities of upstate New York.
The Scramblers perform regularly in Jackson, in Hattiesburg at the Thirsty Hippo and private functions all over the state of Mississippi. You can keep up with the Scramblers’ performance schedule or listen to a tune at http://www.myspace.com/scramblers4
