Albemarle Ramblers

The Albemarle Ramblers Old-Time String Band

Dick Harrington - guitar, vocals
As a boy Dick Harrington sang folk songs with his grandma.  In the early ' 60s he sang and played guitar nightly in a coffee house. In the '70s, having settled in Virginia, he became inspired mainly by Pete and Ellen Vigour, to play old-time music exclusively and take up fiddle. Dick has recorded with Victoria Young, Afton Mountain String Band, and Troublesome Creek.

Pete Vigour - fiddle, vocals and fingerpicking banjo 
Pete Vigour is lucky enough to play and teach old-time music for a living.  He lives in White Hall, Virginia with his wife Ellen, a fine mandolin player and dance caller.  Pete and Ellen have played old-time music in Uncle Henry's Favorites for 25 years with Jim Childress and Mark Beall, often featuring guest appearances by Arnie and Dick.

Arnie Naiman - clawhammer and fingerpicking banjo, vocals
Arnie Naiman hails from Aurora, Ontario, Canada. He has previously released his own recordings of banjo and old-time music and also performs with The Banjo Special, Chris Coole and Ragged But Right.  He has played on recordings  for other artists such as Kathy Reid-Naiman, The Old Time Banjo Festival (Rounder), Chris Coole, Erynn Marshall, Eve Goldberg, Debbie Carroll, Shelley Posen, and The Marigolds.
