the Riders
200 Miles From Everywhere...
Produced by Richie Podolor (Three Dog Night, Steppenwolf, New Radicals)
& engineered by Bill Cooper (Ella Fitzgerald, John Mayall, Three Dog Night).
Featuring Grammy Winner Rami Jaffee of the Wallflowers (Ryan Adams, Foo Fighters, Johnny Cash) on Piano, Hammond B3, & accordion.
The Band: Great bands are rarely just put together, they are earned. The Riders are no
exception to this rule. Based on the dream that Rock'n'Roll music can still mean
something; these musicians have come together and created a sound and feeling
that has been absent for far too long.
The Songs:
Songwriting is not an issue for these guys; from stories of triumph, to the
pain of heartache, and the road traveled while en route to both. They have been
through it, and share it with you to make it seem as if you were right there
when it all went down.
The Musicians: Infused in this tight unit are true song craft and the ability to go beyond the
expectations that are held for most musicians of today. The Riders are schooled
musicians and the guys who have played dives.
Live: With their exceptional songs and musicianship The Riders are lighting up stages
and reminding audiences how meaningful and fun Rock’n’Roll can still be!
Press: “...comforting sound of being in the middle of a road trip...the vocals
capture the nostalgia of the past, while the funky bass and power guitar ballads
embody the optimism of undiscovered possibilities."
- Relix Magazine
"Great lyrics, memorable melodies, and a classic rock sound you always
loved and always will. Roll down your windows, breathe in deep and sing out
strong with the Riders"
- WFDU - NJ
"Bruce Springsteen + Bob Dylan + Bruce Hornsby + The Band = The
Riders"
- From The Future Music
"...this is a topnotch American-rock record"
- Dan Bolles - Seven Days
"the skill exhibited by all the players here is undeniable"
- San Diego Citybeat
"The bottom line is that the dude is good at what he does. And what he does is write pitch-perfect acoustic rock songs with a clear reverence for the roads his forbears traveled"
