Rahm Mandelkorn has been playing music in Western North Carolina and beyond for the past 23 years. Rahm Squad is his project that includes some of the best players in/around Asheville, NC.
He was also the guitarist that Claude Coleman, Jr. of Ween chose for his solo project, Amandla (also with Yahzay on drums).
I've been a fan of the Monday night crew at 5 Walnut Wine Bar in downtown Asheville for a while now. In fact, I've had each of those players on the podcast. Go back and listen to Jaze "Yahzay" Uries on episode 1, Caromia on episode 5, and Danny Iannucci on episode 12.
I was lucky enough to play with Rahm during the early funk jam at One Stop in Asheville a few weeks ago. It was a blast.
Go see Rahm Squad at Eulogy in Asheville with Sugar Bomb and balm. on February 3rd, 2024 at 7pm! GET TICKETS HERE!
