The 2026 Lineup…

NewFound Road

We’re thrilled to welcome NewFound Road to The Outpost Bluegrass Barn as the headliner for RamblerFest 2026! Celebrating 25 years together, NewFound Road remains one of the most powerful and soulful bands in bluegrass. Known for their rich harmonies, masterful musicianship, and heartfelt songs, the group has graced stages from intimate venues to the Grand Ole Opry.

Now reunited and signed to Billy Blue Records, NewFound Road brings a renewed energy and fresh music to their timeless sound — making their debut to Waco, Georgia a show fans won’t forget.

Second Edition

Back by popular demand, the elusive Second Edition returns to RamblerFest 2026.

They don’t have a Facebook page. They don’t have a website. What they do have is a brotherhood built on pure musicianship and a love for bluegrass that speaks for itself.

Widely regarded as one of the finest bluegrass bands in the country, Second Edition has earned a reputation for keeping things old-school—no digital footprint, no hype—just world-class picking and harmony that fans chase from one hidden stage to the next. Catching them live often feels like discovering a secret show, whispered about in the right circles by those who know where to listen.

Featuring Matthew Bell, Second Edition embodies everything bluegrass was meant to be: raw, real, and rooted in tradition.

Canon Tyler

Making his RamblerFest debut, we’re beyond excited to have one of the best up and coming artists on the bluegrass scene join us this year!

Hailing from the hills of North Georgia, Canon Tyler is a gifted singer-songwriter and guitarist whose sound blends the heart of bluegrass with the soul of contemporary acoustic music. Drawing from traditional American folk and the storytelling spirit of Laurel Canyon–era songwriters, Tyler creates a style that feels both fresh and familiar to fans of roots music.

His latest album, Thickets & Brambles, is a heartfelt tribute to the rich musical heritage of North Georgia. The 10-track collection weaves introspective lyrics and vivid storytelling into songs that reflect life in the foothills and the timeless traditions of the region.

We’re proud to have Canon Tyler join the RamblerFest family and can’t wait for you to experience his music live at the Outpost Bluegrass Barn in 2026.

Georgia Bound

Georgia Bound is a staple of the Georgia bluegrass scene, and they’re making their RamblerFest debut in 2026!

Established in 1984, Georgia Bound is a traditional bluegrass band with deep country and gospel roots and a sound that has stood the test of time. Known for their strong instrumentation, tight vocal harmonies, and creative arrangements, Georgia Bound delivers the kind of authentic bluegrass that longtime fans love and new listeners quickly embrace.

Based in Douglasville, Georgia, the band has performed at public and private venues and bluegrass festivals throughout the Southeast, building a reputation for heartfelt performances and a true respect for the traditions of the genre.

RamblerFest is also proud to highlight Georgia Bound member Jeff Partridge, who has recently launched an exciting new project, Georgia Bluegrass — a statewide, user-generated bluegrass music resource dedicated to preserving heritage, celebrating today’s artists, and inspiring tomorrow’s musicians. The project is also home to the Georgia Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, honoring the musicians who have shaped the sound of our state.

We’re honored to have Georgia Bound bring their timeless sound to the Outpost Bluegrass Barn and can’t wait to share this special performance with you at RamblerFest 2026.

Stay Tuned!

We will be updating our lineup as we get closer to RamblerFest 2026!
