RIVER VALLEY RANGERS
w/ CAMERON GEAREN
@ BOBBY'S EASTSIDE
RVR BIO: Rolling plains, crackling campfires, and late night string sessions are just some of the scenes that float into one’s mind when absorbing one of Midwestern quartet River Valley Rangers’ forthright compositions. Throughout their 5 year tenure, the group has remained a steadfast contributor to the “newgrass” genre through their inventive, free-flowing flatpicking styles and arrangements, all the while paying omnipresent homage to the pioneers of the conventional bluegrass style. While the traditional instrumentation of their songs resounds with familiarity, the techniques they employ––rhythmic changes, melodic sequences, breakdowns, improvised jamming––yield an ever-evolving sonic landscape, rippled with nods to more orthodox offerings from within the realm.

Cameron Gearen (featuring Debra McQueen on fiddle and back-up vocals) is a singer-songwriter and guitarist based in Oak Park and playing around Chicagoland. For studio work, check here. Gearen is drawn to Americana with a beat and relies on influences in many genres including rock, gospel, and bluegrass.
