Established in April 2023 in Saddleback Valley, California, the Cobblestone Ramblers emerged from the vibrant bluegrass jam circles of Orange County. This five-member bluegrass ensemble features Craig Spradley on guitar and vocals, Mike Weiss on upright bass, Ed Meier on mandolin, Julia Scholtes on fiddle and vocals, and John Fitzgerald on banjo and vocals. Despite their relatively short time together, the band has dedicated significant effort to mastering their instruments and enhancing their stage presence. 

They have had the privilege of participating in numerous notable events, including the Norco Horse Week Festival, the CBA-sponsored Long Beach Bluegrass Festival, the Hanger Stage at the Orange County Fair, the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach, and the 51st Annual Orange International Street Fair in downtown Orange, California andthe Topanga Banjo & Fiddle Contest. 

Whether you are an old friend, a new acquaintance, or someone yet to discover their music, attending a Cobblestone Ramblers show promises to be a rewarding experience.
