Bo Ramsey
Born and raised in the blue-collar Mississippi River town of Burlington, Iowa in 1951, Robert Franklin (Bo) Ramsey not only played a vital role in shaping Eastern Iowa’s distinctive blues-rock hybrid, but has continued in his still vibrant career as a performer, producer, recording session guitarist and touring “hired gun”. To look at Bo's discography and production credits is to be confronted with a dizzying 'who's-who' of the folk, blues and Americana idioms: Greg Brown, Lucinda Williams, Don Was, Pieta Brown, The Pines, Calexico and Charlie Parr to name a few.
