Greetings! “We Love our Country!” February 16, 2010 For all our fans and readers of this webpage - we will be changing our web page host and our format shortly. We may experience some downtime as we make this transition. If the web page is down, please return frequently as we will be getting the new web site up as soon as possible. The website address www.highryder.net will remain the same. On March 27th, we’re scheduled to play at the South Connellsville Firemen’s Club. A new venue for us (indoors at least) and hopefully the start of a new venture. The hall is open to the public - so we hope to see you there.. Then on April 17th we return to the Hopwood AMVETS. Always a great dancing crowd. Hope to see you there as well. As warmer weather arrives we hope to see you at one of the many outdoor venues during our summer concert series. Keep coming back to the web page for schedule changes. What sets the High Ryder band apart from other bands? Well, we’re not pretty (obviously) and we’re not young (unfortunately). We don’t have screaming teenagers hanging on our every word. We don’t put on fancy stage shows (Roy refuses to climb on anything while he plays the fiddle.) We’re not into pyrotechnics or laser shows. We don’t blast out eardrums with super-powerful electronic gear. What we do offer is music, resulting from a combined experience of more than 200 years. While most of our contemporaries have retired and quit the music business, we plug away, looking for that audience appreciation of the music we bring with us. We’re definitely not in it for the money. Dreams of stardom and worldwide fame faded away with the start of families and non-musical careers. As long as the audiences like what we’re doing - we’ll keep doing it. And, as Roy puts it, we do have something that most bands don't - grandchildren. . We really appreciate our fans - new and old - and hope to meet more of you in the future. Stay tuned!! Hope to see you all real soon. The High Ryder Band |
