Now in their 35th year, the Tony Award-winning Red Clay Ramblers are a North Carolina string-band whose repertoire reflects their roots in old-time mountain music, as well as country, rock, Dixieland, bluegrass, gospel, and the American musical. In 1993, the Irwin-Shiner-Ramblers hit Broadway. Their production, Fool Moon, on Broadway earned the Ramblers their second Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Music in a Play, and Fool Moon in Los Angeles set box-office records; it went on to run abroad in Vienna and Munich, returned to Broadway for a second success in late 1995, and had a third Broadway run (Brooks Atkinson Theater) in '98 and '99. Fool Moon enjoyed a 5-week run at the Kennedy Center, DC, Feb.-Mar. '99, and received a Special Tony Award, Gershwin Theater, New York, NY, on June 6th, 1999.

Over the years, the Ramblers have performed with such figures as '98 Grammy-winner Shawn Colvin (a Red Clay Rambler for most of '87), Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, Eugene Chadbourn, Ireland's Boys of the Lough, Randy Newman (recorded "Ride, Gambler, Ride" with him for the film Maverick), and Michelle Shocked (who brought the Eagles' Bernie Leadon and a mobile studio to North Carolina to record with the Ramblers). All along, members of the Ramblers have been involved separately in diverse creative projects, including children's works for the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, the celebratory Carolina musicals King Mackerel, Cool Spring, and Tar Heel Voices, as well as scoring for The Discovery Channel and for such independent films as John Sayles' The Secret of Roan Innish and Nick Searcy's Paradise Falls [Best Feature, Hollywood Film Festival, Aug. '98].
