The North River Ramblers

Nobody ever said bluegrassin' was easy

About Me

Currently playing in Grand Forks, North Dakota. James Feist, Kris Leirfallom, & twiddlin' Josh Driscoll combine such instruments as acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, 12-string acoustic, harmonica, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, didgeridoo, and hand drums into a folk-bluegrass style not heard too much around this area. Everyone shares the effort in songwriting with their parts, and the lyrics written by James Feist and Twiddlin' Josh. Kris Leirfallom moves from banjo, to didgeridoo, to guitar, and to harmonica in no particular order. James Feist plays his left-handed guitar and harmonicas that add a hint of folk to the mix. Twiddlin' Josh Driscoll illustrates a level of twiddlin' never seen around these parts. Please keep checking back as we will have some songs posted in the near future. Also, don't be shy to drop a message if there's a venue or a show coming up that you think we might fit.
