Bio

The Two Metre Rovers is the Irish alter ego of one of Atlanta’s favorite cover bands, the Six Foot Ramblers. The Six Foot Ramblers formed out of the band members’ mutual love of great music from a variety of genres over the past seven decades. The band started after a collective of musicians met regularly on a back deck during the pandemic and tried to respect the recommended 6-foot social distancing. The physical distance didn’t get in the way of the band rambling through song after song and thus the band was named. Although the band is relatively young, each member has decades of experience playing live music at venues and events across the country.
The Two Metre Rovers is an outgrowth of the Ramblers’ love of folk and rock music and their deep respect for the storytelling found in Irish ballads. The contributions of artists like the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem to the American folk revival in the 1960’s acted as a musical land bridge for the Two Metre Rovers to begin their exploration of the rich heritage of Irish music.

From heartfelt laments to tales of raucous fun, the Two Metre Rovers take the audience on a journey of some of the best-known Irish songs both new and old. While the Rovers may be one of Atlanta’s newest Irish folk/rock bands, the selection of infectious Irish music is sure to make everyone feel a bit Irish deep down inside.
