“The Ramblers sound like an 80's update on Creedence, and their first album led to a support slot with Levon Helm." ”

— Time Out New York

“70s rock for driving down the open highway.”

— CMJ

“The Ramblers are at the top of my list of cool Brooklyn artists. In this era of electronically molded 'product,' Jeremiah Birnbaum and company make you realize that it never got any better than a single guitar plugged into a single amplifier.”

— Mark Saleski, All About Jazz

"The Ramblers churn out a honey-laced law-runnin’ sound...Fans of The Band should definitely give this album a spin as it’s the real deal."

— Ryan Dembinsky, Glide Magazine, Editor's Choice

“A heartfelt tribute to the joy of music… a rock band who knows their history… shades of the E Street Band that surface when Scott Stein’s piano and keyboards accent things just the right way...It’s no wonder that Levon Helm brought them in as support act...just grab yourself a copy of Getting There and crank up “Leave A Letter Behind.” That opening riff coming out of Jeremiah Birnbaum’s guitar? Honestly, that’s all you need to hear. ”

— Mark Saleski, Blogcritics.org

"Raucous, bluesy alt-country fronted by Jersey boy Jeremiah Birnbaum, a rabbi's son with a touch of whiskey burning his soul. The band released their eponymous debut album in 2008 and have since rambled their way into an opening slot for Levon Helm. Tonight they celebrate the release of their latest album, Getting There."

— Vanita Salisbury, New York Magazine, Critic's Pick

"I love The Ramblers! They just get better and better and have worked so hard on their CD. It’s a little bit country and a lot of rock n roll."

— Shanta Thake, Joe's Pub Director, Joe's Pub Staff Picks

"Their music takes the listener on a journey...Captivating...soulfully emotional...The Ramblers are sure to please one of your desires."

— Annie Reuter, New York Examiner

"Superb debut album...killer live show."

— Peter Harris, IndieSoundsNY

"Smooth and palatable as the finest Tennessee sippin' whiskey...a gritty, feel-good roots sound that can't fail but to stir the soul and warm the blood...the type of un-shackled music that has stood the test of time."

— Joel Crane, Rebel Spirit Music
