Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers

The band has released four albums: Toby's Song, Driftwood, Self-Titled, and Loved Wild Lost, and their "Van Sessions" videos have been popular on YouTube.

She met Tim Bluhm, singer of Bay Area cult favorite The Mother Hips, who offered to produce tracks for her in his home studio.

Sometime during this period, guitarist Deren Ney, a friend from high school, joined Bluhm for her live shows.

In June 2013 the band was the subject of an Anthony Mason piece on CBS This Morning in anticipation of their self-titled debut being released in August.

The group continued accompanied with other keyboardists including Adam MacDougall (The Black Crowes) and David Veith (Karl Denson's Tiny Universe) before taking an indefinite hiatus in 2017.
