Led by an IBMA Award-winning banjo player with a rock-solid bluegrass pedigree, Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers is rapidly becoming known as one of the top new bluegrass bands in the region. Mullins, a veteran of such highly regarded bands as Longview and the Traditional Grass, is the son of Paul “Moon” Mullins, the fiddler and radio personality who helped shape bluegrass in southwestern Ohio. Joe Mullins is a radio personality in his own right, heard daily on a network of three area stations he owns (WBZI in Xenia, WKFI in Wilmington and WEDI in Eaton) as well as a major bluegrass concert promoter, and his band is hard-driving, traditional, exciting and uncompromisingly bluegrass. Formed in 2006 to perform at promotional events associated with Mullins’ “Classic Country Radio” network, the five-member band has already played at numerous festivals and concerts. The band is currently working on its first CD.
