The Easy Ramblers Duo with Maka Rouge, Wendy Ramsay, and Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers

On Saturday, December 1, Syracuse’s Words and Music Songwriter Showcase features the original bluegrass and folk of the Easy Ramblers duo: Maureen Henesey (Mere Mortals) and Eddie Zacholl (The Z-Bones). The band’s 2011 debut, Easy Does It, won a SAMMY Award for Best Country release. Blending clever craftsmanship and simplicity, their music is old and new at the same time, layered with Henesey’s soaring vocals.

Opening the concert will be roots rocker Maka Rouge and the quirky folk-pop songwriter Wendy Ramsay (the Unstoppables, the Hysterical Fits, Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers Trio) performing in the round with series host Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, a grand prize winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
