Description
"Erie's Homegrown Tribute to The Allman Brothers
Band." The Midnight Riders are a tribute to one of
the greatest American Rock and Roll bands of all time -- The Allman Brothers Band. The band started out as a few friends just wanting to play some great tunes and have some fun, but quickly mushroomed into an authentic seven-piece tribute. The Midnight Riders feature the same instrumentation as The Allman Brothers Band, including two drummers and slide guitar. The members of The Midnight Riders are all seasoned Erie musicians who have been involved in such bands as Plato's Cave, Starfish, East Ave, Zipper City Blues Band, Eastern Smyle, Blues Expansion, and many more. Expect to hear a heavy dose of electrified southern blues rock including "Ramblin' Man", "Revival", "Jessica", and of course, "Midnight Rider". The Midnight Riders are ready to share the music of The Allman Brothers Band and to deliver their simple message: "People can you hear it? Love is everywhere."
