In 2014, The Po' Ramblin' Boys formed as a house band in Gaitlinburg - here in East Tennessee.

A decade later, the bluegrass band is - as it says online - "pickin' hard, singin' true, & ramblin' nationwide."

Brian Hamilton - host of "Mountain Grass" on WUTC - speaks with the band's Jim Lauderdale and C.J. Lewandowski ahead of their visit to this year's IBMA World of Bluegrass in downtown Chattanooga.
