The Kennedy Center, Concert Review >>
Multi-instrumentalist Michael Ramos’ life has always been defined by the music surrounding him. Throughout his youth he played in various classical orchestras, garage bands and jazz ensembles. Eventually he began traversing the country in vans with various young rock bands. Moving to Austin, Texas he found his Latin musical roots, and began drawing attention from national recording and touring acts. He was asked to become a permanent member of the band The BoDeans, and became an integral part of the band for six years. He has also toured and recorded with The Rembrandts, a stint which included playing on their multi-platinum CD “L.P.” During this time he also began a long-running working relationship with John Mellencamp, both in the studio and on tour. Another notable studio appearance was with singer-songwriter Patty Griffin.
Currently Ramos is splitting his touring schedule between John Mellencamp and Patty Griffin. He also continues to produce and compose in his studio, “The Cumbia Lounge,” as well as in his virtual “Cumbia Lounge” touring studio.
