Subterranean Homesick Blues....turned up! The Rhinestone Diplomats are an original Minnesota Roots/Americana/Rock quintet featuring Aaron Cabbage, Gene Hollister and Steve Wold on the vocals, guitars, mandolin & whatever else may fall in their lap, while the tasty low end is a blend of vibrations and rhythms created jointly by bassist Dave Wickiser and drummer Randy Olejnicak. The RD’s have grown from humble beginnings as an acoustic duo playing Minneapolis coffee shops, to performing at some of Minnesota’s legendary rock clubs including First Avenue, The Cabooze & The Fine Line Music Cafe.
