Now Available!
The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys return with a heartfelt new single, “Let ’em Know I’m From Virginia,” releasing November 24, 2025, on Sound Biscuit Records. Written by Glenn Alford and Jerry Newberry, the track is a powerful tribute to the life and legacy of James Frederick “Fred” Quesenberry — a longtime supporter, travel companion, and chosen family to the band’s frontman, C. J. Lewandowski.
Fred, a proud Navy veteran from Floyd County, Virginia, became a fixture at bluegrass festivals nationwide before eventually joining The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys on the road. For over 14 years, he served as mentor, confidant, and “the dad C.J. never had.” The release date, November 24, marks one day before what would’ve been his 82nd birthday.
By 2013, Fred and C.J. were living together in Sevierville, Tennessee, side by side in work and in life. When Fred’s health began to decline, C.J. was there to care for him — encouraging him to rest, stay close to home with his beloved dogs, and find peace surrounded by the music and people he loved most. Fred passed away in 2024, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, faith, and quiet strength that continues to inspire the band.
The recording features Tommy Brown, father of the band’s banjo player Jereme Brown, and formerly of Tommy Brown and the County Line Grass, a group Tommy founded in 1991. The connection between father and son, combined with the spirit of Fred’s memory, brings an emotional weight and authenticity that makes this song stand out in the band’s catalog.
For The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, “Let Them Know I’m From Virginia” isn’t just another song — it’s a tribute to the people who shape us, the places that define us, and the love that never fades.
