Details:
Hailing from the rugged outback of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, The Riderâs music has been influenced by the freedom of the outdoors and the elements and situations that make up daily life. That influence is felt in every self-penned song on his freshman CD, âMy Wayâ.

His singing has been likened to that of Gordon Lightfoot but edged by the grittiness of Merle Haggard and Keith Urbanâs delivery. As a writer, The Rider masterfully paints mini portraits of familiar life stories in his songs.

At fourteen, The Rider began crafting songs and performing them in public. With musical influences that have ranged from Merle Haggard to ZZ Top, The Riderâs musical style has grown over the years into a unique sound that has come to be known as âRider Countryâ.

The Rider came to Nashville to record this CD because it was the only place he felt he could find the studios & players that could translate his music from what he heard in his heart to CD. Among some of those players that he found were Bob Miner & Denny Hemingson from Tim McGrawâs band, âThe Dancehall Doctorsâ, who played Acoustic Guitar / Mandolin and Pedal Steel / Lap Steel Guitars respectively.

His CD, âMy Wayâ is aptly named. These twelve songs have come from The Rider doing life his way⦠There are some really rockinâ country uptempo tracks like âLetâs Get Downâ and âHey What Do You Sayâ; some grooving mid tempo tracks like âStill Want Youâ and âDoinâ Fine Yaâllâ; a funky mid-â70âs pop sounding track, âThis Timeâ and a couple of mellow, introspective tracks âBy Your Sideâ and âHello Brown Eyesâ.

The Riderâs life revolves around his wife and three boys, riding his horse to the upper lakes at his grandfatherâs ranch in Idaho and making the music that delivers gut wrenching honesty in the true life snapshots contained in âMy Wayâ.
