MOUNT MORRIS – The Rhythm Ramblers, a local band that first formed in the 1960s and were recently resurrected, will play at the Mount Morris Moose Lodge 8-11 p.m. Saturday.

The Ramblers – Lyle Grobe of Polo, Frank Evans of Rock Falls, Marv Kunde of Oregon and Dennis Milby of Sterling – lean toward country music, but also throw in some of the pop and rock ’n’ roll of their youth.

In their heyday, the group performed at various venues around the Sauk Valley and elsewhere,opening for such greats as Chubby Checker, Ricky Nelson, Little Jimmy Dickens, Thom Paul and the Glaser Brothers. They ran the old Skyline Lounge in Dixon, too, until about 25 years ago, when their families became their focus.

To get to the lodge at 101 Moose Drive, take Mud Creek Road (East Hitt Street) and turn right after Plum Electric. Call 815-734-4161 for more information.
