The Po' Ramblin' Boys are a Tennessee-based traditional bluegrass band whose music has been rooted from the outset in the hard-driving, high-harmony approach associated with the classic bluegrass of the mid-twentieth century. Formed in the eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina region, the band built a reputation on the festival circuit for the power and authenticity of their live performances before extending that presence into recording work that captured the energy they brought to the stage.

In 2021, the Po' Ramblin' Boys released "East Bound and Down" on Sound Biscuit Recordings — a recording of the Jerry Reed song widely known from the 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit. The choice of material reflected the band's willingness to bring their traditional bluegrass approach to songs from outside the strict bluegrass canon, transforming the country and pop-crossover original into a vehicle for the kind of ensemble playing and vocal work that defines their identity as a band. Their recordings and festival appearances during this period helped establish them as one of the more recognized acts in the contemporary traditional bluegrass scene, appealing to listeners who prize instrumental precision, powerful harmonies, and a commitment to the foundational sounds of the genre.
