The Holiday Ramblers: A Benefit Concert for MPAC
The Holiday Ramblers are making music to blast in your car with the windows down, or fall in love to on a cool autumn night. With the occasional headphone trip, or halftime anthem, they are channeling emotional polarities for your listening pleasure. Let it take you where you need to go.
Though they’ve been involved in various performing acts over the last several decades, this installation is a new one for the members of the Morristown, NJ based Holiday Ramblers. Through chance meetings at local watering holes, rekindled high school friendships, and connections made through mutual rockers, Stephen Bard (drums, vocals), Timothy Gannon (guitar, vocals), Kel Pilshaw (bass, vocals), and David Welsh (keyboards, vocals) have spent the last year developing a repertoire and writing songs. With many gigs sidelined due to current events, they focused inward and started experimenting with new tunes while reviving others from past projects.
They cut their teeth playing some of their favorites by rock ‘n roll hall of famers and alt/indie groups alike. Some of these tunes are set staples and they aren’t ashamed to wear their influences on their sleeves. But in a recent conversation amongst the group, the juxtaposition of David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet/Twin Peaks” era soundtracks with Led Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti” seemed to peak an interest as a potential model for inspiration. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows what they’ll do. But one thing is for certain, the Holiday Ramblers mean business, whatever that means.
