New Riders Renaissance

New Riders Of The Purple Sage

Featuring original members:

David Nelson & Buddy Cage

with

Michael Falzarano (Hot Tuna) Johnny Markowski (Stir Fried/JGB)

Ronnie Penque (Stir Fried/JGB/Ripple)

For immediate release:

The New Riders of the Purple Sage Ride Again.

The long-awaited return of The New Riders of the Purple Sage has fans in a psychedelic head spin. Original members David Nelson (guitar and vocals) and Buddy Cage (pedal Steel) along with Michael Falzarano of Hot Tuna (guitar, mandolin and vocals), Johnny Markowski of Stir Fried and The JGB (drums and vocals) and Ronnie Penque of Ripple and The JGB (bass and vocals) will treat various parts of the US to the NRPS Renaissance. Once called the greatest cosmic, psychedelic-country folk rock & roll band in the universe, the new lineup of NRPS will revive its legendary reputation.

Veterans David Nelson and Buddy Cage have put together a smokin band to perform its timeless music to fans both old and new. "David and I will be playing our NRPS catalog," says Buddy Cage who replaced Jerry Garcia on pedal steel in the band's earliest lineup in 1971. Original bass player Dave Torbert and drummer Spencer Dryden have passed away and are now a part of the ethereal band. They will undoubtedly be smiling down as their music lives on. Co-founder John Dawson cannot lend his considerable talents due to ongoing health problems although he will be there in spirit.

Formed in 1969, The New Riders were signed to Columbia Records in 1971 by Clive Davis and its eponymous first album, New Riders of the Purple Sage, was released in September of that year to widespread acclaim. For the next 13 years the band continued to tour and release over 12 albums, selling over 4 million records. The two bands that helped define country rock as we know it are The Eagles and The New Riders of the Purple Sage. If the Eagles were the Beatles of country rock, then The New Riders of the Purple Sage were The Rolling Stones - rockin', rowdy and genuine.

Bossa Nova Beatniks	Jan 1 2009 10:13 PM Happy Birthday Buddy and the other Riders, Have an existential year. Our hope for the new year is that we all encourage the positive energy in our lives and enjoy the day to day, leaving good will and love in our wake. Paul McCartney was right when he sang, “The love you take is equal to the love you make.” Our wish for the new year is that we Americans have chosen a good and decent man to lead the free world by example of integrity and reason. One who will set the tone for a world at peace and engaged in making the future a lot better than the recent past. “You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” John Lennon So, here’s the Bossa Nova Beatniks’ New Year's message in song. And here is a video of a song that one of our MySpace friends sent us. It makes us feel good about this world we share.

Journey Home	Dec 13 2008 4:54 PM You know the people that say utopia isn't possible have already given up. Living sustainably in balance with our environment and food sources will bring us the freedom to live in harmony, and provide the opportunity for all to excel in their efforts, dreams and life path. Utopia is not only possible but it is the very essence that should guide our dreams and vision for ourselves and with each other. It is the horizon we should all strive for everyone and every nation. Anything short of that will lead us astray. Paul Author - Journey Home Take the Journey for the Holidays Click Here “Phenomenal on so many levels...tremendous!”
Dr. HipHappy	Nov 3 2008 6:57 PM I have been writing about our vital presidential election for the past year. I have compiled my top ten stories - five praising Obama and five blasting McCain-Palin. If you have not voted, learn why Obama deserves your vote. If you already voted for Barack - these will reinforce the choice you made!! Obama Movement has Massive Momentum Why Barack is Best - Read His Own Words Obama Should Be Willing to Legalize Marijuana Michelle Obama Will be Awesome and Admirable First Woman!! Jesus was a Community Organizer - Pontius Pilate was a Governor!! Old McCain Should Buy a Farm - Not Become President McCain is Too Crazy to Become President McCain’s Body Language Reveals Hostility, Arrogance and Dishonesty Sarah Swears, Spends and Stomps Like a Drunken Sailor Todd Palin is a Domestic Terrorist who Hates America
