About
Ramoth-Gilead earned a B.S. in Music Education, but it wasn't until after college that he realized his God-given gift to write songs was something unique that he couldn't have learned from any institution. Knowing he was a late bloomer, Ramoth rose to the self challenge to teach himself guitar in a matter of months and hit the road with his songs and a new dream, to make a significant contribution to the music world with his own music. Those who have heard him will agree he's doing just that.
Ramoth-Gilead was brought up listening to his father's collection of soul music from the 60's and his mother's favorite gospel records of the 80's. When breaking away to discover music for himself, he was intrigued with the lyrics of hip-hop, the color of jazz and classical, and the feel-good music of the 70's. A lot of these early influences are prevalent in his own music and lyrics as he combines real life and humor together with colorful and rhythmically funky acoustic guitar chords.
His debut album, ATTRACTING A CROWD, is a live recorded performance which gives the un-experienced listener an opportunity to hear why so many people are attracted to his clever way with words and his unique guitar style. As a part-time street musician, Ramoth has had his share of run-ins with the law. The title of the album uses the same words that an officer described in a citation that was given to him. The incident-inspired track, "Play For Change", tells his story.

Well, as far as more acoustic venues go...I hear Bela Dubby's in Cleveland is good...and the Lime Spider in Akron is supposed to be great . There are some more low-key coffee shop type venues in the area too, if you're interested I could look up some for you. We dig your tunes and if we could work out a show sometime during that time period we will let you know. Would you be interested in opening for us? The only problem is that we will most likely be in school during that time period...so we would have to see if any of that dates worked.
Best of luck ...keep up the great music.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know."
Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!
