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.
