Bill
Hicks and Jim Watson, along with Tommy Thompson founded the Red Clay
Ramblers in the early 1970's. Mike Craver and Jack Herrick joined the band
within a few years. For the next decade the Ramblers toured extensively
throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Africa, appearing
frequently on the Prairie Home Companion, acting and playing in two
Off-Broadway shows and releasing nine albums on the Flying Fish and Sugar
Hill labels. Co-founder and banjo player Tommy Thompson passed away in early
2003, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Bill Hicks, Jim Watson, and Mike
Craver have continued to play music together since leaving the
Red Clay Ramblers, and are often joined by Joe Newberry on banjo and vocals.
