RAG MAMA RAG (UK TOUR)
RAG MAMA RAG (back by popular request), have slowly and consistently built up their reputation as one of Europe’s finest Country Blues acts. With an interesting and wide range of instruments, (ASHLEY DOW, Henderson acoustic guitar, National & Dobro Resonator bottleneck guitars, Weissenborn acoustic lap steel, ukulele and vocals), plus DEBORAH DOW, (harmonica, washboard, percussion and backing vocals), RAG MAMA RAG create an exceptionally full and hard driving rhythmic sound.
Their repertoire is 20s and 30s blues based, but extremely varied, encompassing Mississippi blues, East Coast ragtime sounds, early white country tunes, original compositions, and many other regional styles of the 20s and 30s period. Touring non-stop in Europe, (they now live in France), during the last twelve years RAG MAMA RAG have clocked up around 4,000 concerts and have played at all the major festivals in France, Belgium and Germany.
