The Red River Ramblers are a band in the Canadian province of Manitoba that performs Métis fiddle music. The band was founded by Métis musician Douglas Richard Sinclair, who is a citizen of the Manitoba Métis Federation.[1]

Sinclair founded the band in February 2019. The band's first record, titled "Metis Fiddle Music", features banjo renditions of traditional Métis fiddle tunes. The band recorded the entire record live off the floor at Lincoln County Social Club, a recording studio owned by John Dinsmore in Toronto, Ontario.[2]

Sinclair composed original Métis fiddle compositions and released them on his record titled "Reverie", on January 8th 2023. The band received a Juno Award nomination for Traditional Indigenous Artist of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024.[3][4]
