The Amish Outlaws

It is a little-known fact that most Amish practice a tradition

similar to the Christian “Confirmation” and Jewish “Bar Mitzvah”

called “Rumspringa” (literal translation: “running around”) in

which Amish children at the age of 16 have an opportunity to live

free of the strict Amish code of conduct before deciding if they

want to come back and be baptized into the Amish church.

Surprisingly, virtually all of the youths return.

But sometimes they don’t.

Four out of the original six members of The Amish Outlaws were

born and raised in Lancaster, PA and had a strict Amish

upbringing. No electricity from land lines, no alcohol, no

musical instruments, but their spirits were too wild for the Amish

lifestyle. Once they trampled in the Devil’s Playground, there was

no turning back. In the years since Rumspringa, the members of

the Amish Outlaws have become very well acclimated to the

pleasures and vices of the modern world... music, most of all. Hip

hop, rock, country, metal, disco, opera. There is no genre they do

not touch upon.

Thus, with a bold lust for life and a fire for music and performance

that can only come from 16 years of repression, The Amish

Outlaws were unleashed upon the world.
