   About The Riders
.. ..

Crown City Sessions

Co-Produced with Guy Fletcher (Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris)
Featuring Saxophonist Buddy Leach of George Thorogood & the Destroyers
 
(streams of the first 3 songs are available here on myspace)
 
 
Recorded over the course of a few months in a little house (pictured above) on 
Coronado Island, CA (also known as the Crown City)Crown City Sessions features 
the latest 5-piece line-up of the Riders. Crown City Sessions introduces Devin 
Shea on violin, Mike Clairmont on bass, and Neil MacPherson on piano, organ, and
Wurlizter as part of the Riders along with founding members of the Riders Tom 
Cusimano and Jimmy Olson.
 
Set up and recorded a la The Band style (in a house on a mobile recording unit) 
and drawing from a variety of influences ranging from classical, jazz, blues, rock,
r&b, country, and bluegrass Crown City Sessions showcases the Riders eclectic tastes
and versatility as musicians.
 
It is their versatility that the Riders grabbed the attention of the US Folk Alliance. 
The Riders have been selected to showcase at the upcoming 2010 Folk Alliance Conference 
in Memphis, TN this coming February.
 
The Riders have one problem though, as you may or may not know they reside in San Diego, CA -
which is almost 2,000 miles from Memphis, TN
 
The Riders need your help - please Help Get the Riders to Memphis
The band needs to raise about $2,000 for gas, lodging, and conference fees and hoping to raise the money
with your help. The Riders are doing a "pay what you can/donation" for the initial release of their new album
Crown City Sessions
To purchase the new album and contribute to the Help Get the Riders to Memphis fund please visit:
