The Raglanders are a 5-piece group from Green Bay, Wisconsin who blur the lines between Rock and Country with a uniquely Midwestern take. They draw on traditional influences like Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and The Band along with newer voices such as Ryan Adams and Jason Isbell.
In November 2018 they released ?The Raglanders?, a full-length album follow up to their 2016 EP release ?Pembine?, which they recorded in an isolated cabin deep in the woods of northern Wisconsin near the small town of Pembine. The new material demonstrates a growth in songwriting and musicianship, while sticking to the traditional roots that have been the band?s trademark from the beginning.
The Raglanders current lineup includes founding members Troy Heinz (rhythm guitar, vocals), John Steuck (lead guitar, vocals) and Andy Cismoski (bass, vocals), as well as fiddle player Molly Robinson and drummer Jeff Just. The band?s sound is clearly based first and foremost in the classic storytelling tradition, but their instrumental prowess can elevate improvisational passages to exciting new levels at any given moment.
