"The Hilltown Ramblers stand on stage and deliver great bluegrass songs like they're your best friend coming through the door with a homemade pie. There's a sweetness and care to their shows that spreads goodwill throughout the crowd. This is downhome music that brings people together, and it's hard to think of anything more precious these days." -Sarah Craig, Executive Director, Caffe Lena
HAPPY 2025!
Wishing y'all a healthy and happy New Year from all of The Hilltown Ramblers. What a great year 2024 was...we got to play some fine places for the first time like The Revival in Wells, NY, The Little Theater on the Farm in Fort Edward, Rockland Cider Works - Upstate in Gilboa, and Dorn Space in Gloversville as well as special appearances for the Princetown and Duanesburg Seniors. We got to return to some awesome venues like Rail to River Brewing in Ravena and the gorgeous Westkill Brewery in the heart of the Catskills as well as some regular stops at The GasUp in Gallupville, the Adirondack Bluegrass League's Round-Up, and of course at our local Berne NY town park to benefit the library.
Our biggest feat this year was the release of our new album "Clear Mountains" on our Helderberg Home Records label. CDs and digital options are available by emailing us at hilltownramblers@yahoo.com. Here's links to YouTube videos of the two singles:

Coming to you from high in the Helderberg Mountains to the beautiful Hudson River Valley in upstate New York.....it's the Hilltown Ramblers.
Playing a "northern blend" of folksy bluegrass with a repertoire ranging from contemporary back to traditional with a heaping helping of originals to top it off, the Hilltown Ramblers have been loved all over since 1993.
