SEPT 27 SATURDAY
SKIPPER’S 28TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND SHOW
NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE Birthed in the summer of 1969, the New Riders of the Purple Sage have a long history, often intertwined with those of like-minded bands such as The Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Commander Cody's Lost Planet Airmen and perhaps most famously, the Grateful Dead. The band has always produced a sound that lies somewhere between Nashville and Bakerfield, featuring sweet country harmonies mixed with pulsing rock rhythms. Tellingly, the first three New Riders albums were all produced by Stephen Barncard, who also co-produced the Dead's American though in all fairness the band's signature tune, "Panama Red," only hints at the breadth of the NRPS sound. Cosmic American music, indeed. Not surprising for a band with such lineage, the years have seen many different lineups, with members coming and going (and sometimes going and going yet again); the current NRPS amalgamation includes Michael Falzarano (Hot Tuna) on guitar/vocals, DavidNelson on guitar/vocals, Buddy Cage (damn near anybody who's anybody) on pedal steel guitar and Ronnie Penque and John Markowski (both of Stir Fried) on bass guitar and drums. www.thenewriders.com
