‘Bobby’ Coleman, (Robert Maury Coleman ) was born in Washington DC in 1949. At the age of 12 he took up guitar, and by 14 the banjo and harmonica during the folk music craze of the early 60s. His teenage band ‘The Deadbeats’ recorded a demo with guitar great Roy Buchanan and a local 45 RPM record with some direction from Link Wray. In 1968 he switched to bass guitar and was co-founder of the band ‘Babe’ which became well-known in the DC music scene in the early 1970s. He played with Liz Meyer and then Steuart Smith (Eagles) in the late 70s. In 1980 he retired from professional music but continues to sing and play guitar in local venues.

Scott Ramminger is a writer, singer, and sax player.  He also occasionally annoys real guitar players and others  by accompanying himself on guitar.   His latest CD, “Do What Your Heart Says To,” will be out  February 17, 2017.   The album features 14 of Ramminger’s original tunes.  Tracked in New Orleans with some of the finest players in the city, the CD includes guest appearances from Tommy Malone (Subdudes), Bekka Bramlett, Francine Reed, The McCrary Sisters, Janiva Magness, and Roddie Romero (who also plays accordion on a track).   Ramminger's 2013 CD, "Advice From a Father to a Son," received significant airplay on Sirius XM and earned Ramminger a Gold Award in the 2012 Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Competition.  His  2011 CD, "Crawstickers," earned him a WAMMIE, (Washington Area Music Award) for Best Debut CD. Both discs received critical acclaim from a wide range of publications including “Downbeat” “Blues Matters,” “Living Blues,”  “No Depression,”  “Elmore,” and more.     Raised in Huntsville, AL, Ramminger came to Washington DC after earning a journalism degree from the University of Tennessee.
