The Long Ryders, pioneers of the Alt-Country movement, return to the stage with the same fiery spirit that first made them legends.
Fusing punk energy with country-rock harmonies, the band bridged the gap between Gram Parsons and today’s Americana heroes, influencing acts such as Wilco, The Jayhawks, and Uncle Tupelo.
Rising from the Los Angeles scene, The Long Ryders made their mark with acclaimed albums including Native Sons and State of Our Union, featuring the alt-radio classic “Looking for Lewis & Clark.” Their sound—12-string guitars, heartfelt songwriting, and a raw, roots-driven edge—helped define a generation and inspire a movement.
Following their celebrated 2019 release Psychedelic Country Soul, the band returned to the studio to craft September November, their first album since the passing of bassist Tom Stevens. Still a thrilling live force, The Long Ryders deliver shows packed with history, heart, and unrelenting energy. Saddle up—don’t miss the ride.
