He switched to the University of North Florida, then got a master's degree from Northwestern University. At North Florida, he met pianist Roy Dunlap, bassist Jeff Hanley, and drummer Peter Miles, with whom he would later form a band. In 1997, Wamble moved to New York City, where he met Wynton Marsalis. He played guitar on Big Train (1999) by Wynton Marsalis and Traveling Miles (1999) by Cassandra Wilson and signed with Marsalis Music. He released his debut album, Country Libations, in 2003.
