Bill Ramsel is a unique performer who reaches for new understanding and appreciation of history and our heritage. His songs are about the unique time in our history from 1800 to 1840. Called the “Mountain Man Era” after the men who populated the Rockies and the Eastern mountains, Ramsel’s music reflects the life and times of these men of legend. He highlights the period of great western expansion and the struggle for Texas independence.

His colorful phrasing and soulful ballads leave the listener with the flavor of the period. These lively ballads authentically reveal the life of the mountain man and the spirit of the old western frontier.

Ramsel has three albums full of the music of his adopted era. A historian at heart, his beautiful baritone voice and crisp guitar are a joy to listen to for their pure entertainment value.

Anyone who listens to this music comes away with an intimate sense of one of America’s most adventurous and exciting times. But that’s just the half of it. Bill’s musical talents and gift for writing make this music both beautiful and meaningful for any listener, regardless of their level of interest in the times of the mountain men.
