The Saltine Ramblers

About Me

The Saltine Ramblers formed in late 2004 in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. The current lineup features original members Kevin Strange and Cory Minefee joined by "Uncle" James Brown and Kevin "Five Wire" Jones of Hobos In Limbo fame with Dave Ivey and Dave Payne respectively. The Ramblers perform their own brand of bizzare americana, and compliment it with old time fiddle tunes, bluegrass standards and not so standards, rock n' roll, Rio Grande delta blues and so on. The Saltine Ramblers completed their first self released album "Gajos De Manderina" in April '05 and have since created a series of free home recordings for distribution at shows. These include "Salt Trek" and "Friskey" from 2006 and "Warning: The Saltine Ramblers!" from 2007. Ask your favorite Rambler for your complimentary copy today!
