The Midday Ramblers
Website
The Midday Ramblers play Bluegrass Music. They hail from all parts of the midwest but have called Lawrence, Kansas their home for many years. In 1997 the band began performing under the temporary name "The Burcham Park Boys" until they began a half-hour radio show on the ill-fated,
low-wattage radio station KAW Radio. Broadcasting from the basement of Liberty Hall in downtown Lawrence, KAW pumped a whopping 9 watt signal to most parts of Lawrence. Operating without a FCC license, the station sported a wide range of local programming. Traditional DJs, political tirades, and live music all had a place on KAW Radio. Meanwhile, the Burcham Park Boys had been tightening up their sound on the sidewalks in front of Liberty Hall, and when KAW came kawlling, they moved the music inside.
