                               The Rides

with Special Guest BETH HART

The Rides: Separated in age by a musical generation but bonded By a mutual love of classic cars and the blues, two time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stephen Stills and five-time Grammy nominated singer, guitarist and songwriter Kenny Wayne Shepherd draw fire from their extraordinary collective histories—and join forces with famed Chicago rock/blues keyboardist Barry Goldberg—to blaze a fresh trail for the historical American art form in the 21st Century.
Launching an exciting new chapter in each of their storied careers, the trio's new band The Rides—which Stills dubs "the blues band of my dreams," built to last beyond the concept of a one time all-star gathering—is further powered by the explosive rhythm section of bassist Kevin McCormick and Shepherd's longtime drummer Chris Layton (also a veteran of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble). Their 429 Records debut "Can't Get Enough", helmed by longtime Shepherd producer Jerry Harrison, is a fascinating historical sweep, featuring a hard hitting mix of Stills-Goldberg-Shepherd penned blues/rock originals, classic blues tunes by Muddy Waters ("Honey Bee") and Elmore James ("Talk To Me Baby") and blistering twists on Stills' favorite Neil Young anthem "Rockin' In The Free World" and the Iggy Pop & The Stooges' early 70s classic "Search and Destroy."

Special Guest BETH HART, the classically-trained musician that toured extensively in the UK and Europe, playing bigger and bigger venues each time, and whose powerhouse and soul-baring voice has been compared to Janis Joplin and Etta James, is on the fast-track to a spectacular career rebirth here in America. Beth's reintroduction to American audiences first took place last December when she joined Jeff Beck at the Kennedy Center Honors to pay musical tribute to nominee Buddy Guy. The performance received a rare, non-nominee standing ovation that included the President and Mrs. Obama, and Guy, while not familiar with Hart at the time, was so impressed, he asked her to sing vocals on the track "What You Gonna Do About Me" for his new album, Rhythm & Blues, due out July 30. Beth hooked up with Beck again in April at Eric Clapton's Crossroad Guitar Festival held at New York's Madison Square Garden, and followed that with her first U.S. headline tour in a dozen years, with every, single date completely sold out. She impressed Conan O'Brien when she made her first late-night TV appearence in more than a decade. Seesaw, her second album with blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa was released on May 21 and debuted at #1 on Billboard's Blues chart, and her own album, Bang Bang Boom Boom, her first U.S. release in about ten years, was released in April to stellar reviews.
