*RAMOTH-GILEAD* (the really bad) Originally from Dallas, Ramoth-Gilead (the really bad) [pronounced: Ray-Moth (the insect), Gil-Lee-Add (opposite of subtract)], is an East Texas native raised in a small community around his kinfolk. Like most Texans, he is proud of his heritage, and like many southerners he is proud to be country. Ramoth-Gilead was brought up listening to his father's selection of soul music from the 60’s and 70’s, and his mother's favorite gospel records of the 80’s. A lot of these early influences are prevalent in his own music and lyrics. Ramoth has a very diverse background in music. He has played his share of "oom-pah, oom-pahs" in a couple of marching bands and has even held down the low end of a polka band on the tuba! As a cornetist, he is experienced in jazz and Latin tooting. He has also filled in the bottom for some jazz ensembles and a rock band on wood and electric basses. Ramoth doesn't consider himself to be a great singer nor a great guitarist (or else he would title himself as Ramoth-Gilead, The Great), but he feels that his limited talents as an instrumentalist, his diverse musical background, and his gift as a songwriter all work together to make the perfect formula. One which creates a unique sound of music and is difficult to place in one category. Then again, that is what every other songwriter feels about their music. Nevermind. Just come on out and have a good time. | |
