Quick Hit Band Interview: Rambling Ways

Rambling Ways at The Satellite

Interview with the band. Enjoy:

What is currently influencing your sound? As far as songwriting goes, we’ve been playing around with the sounds we’ve always loved a little more freely lately. Like trying to let the songs breath and sort of have a pulse of their own. And with influences, it goes way back to being inspired by the greats like Credence Clearwater Revival, Cat Stevens, Fleetwood Mac, Dylan, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton , etc etc. but there’s also bands from now like Kings of Leon , Gary Clark Jr., and Lukas Nelson that get us going.

How has the band grown together as a group? We’ve grown together in a lot of ways, between different genres of music and just in our personal lives that made us really own our vibe and hone in on the sounds we want to create. The fun thing about our band is that we’re family. We’ve known each other since we were little kids growing up in Miami so it’s easy to read each other and it’s just enhanced through music. There’s nothing better than making music with the people you’ve known your whole life.

The Satellite: Harry Katz and The Pistachios with Rambling Ways

I decided to catch the final night of Harry Katz and The Pistachios' residency night on a chilly last Monday of May. The music that night warmed things up.

Opening up was the thrilling sounds of Rambling Ways. They have those drug induced sounds of the 70s. I felt like I was floating two feet above the ground. Throw in some organ sounds. Add in a bassist who knows how to entertain. Then cap it off with a drummer who spins his sticks. That's 30 minutes of entertainment.

Harry Katz and The Pistachios had a bowl of pistachios stage left. When I first noticed the bowl, I was tempted to take a handful. The band is led by their lead singer's gravel vocals, but let's not forget that brass section that brings up images of skirts twirling and shoes tapping. Counterpoint to the brass section are soprano vocal support that punctuates the beats. And this band, they love to smile. That just shows their joy for the music.
