Bo Ramsey

Influenced by Sun Records rockabilly and the Chess label's blues stars of the 1950s, singer/songwriter Bo Ramsey honed his craft over the course of two decades spent performing in the farm and factory towns of his native Eastern Iowa, finally attracting widespread notice opening for Lucinda Williams on her 1994 solo acoustic tour. Ramsey also worked as a guitarist and co-producer for fellow Iowan Greg Brown before issuing his debut album In the Weeds, released on the Trailer label in 1997. ~ Jason Ankeny
