Ghost Riders™ 10 yr Anniversary Tour

Yep, the 1st Ghost Rider gig was March 9,2003 at Apollo Beach Manatee Arts Festival, Apollo Beach, FL.

GHOST RIDERS™ on Reverb Nation

My friend Don Campbell started this site, and I'm glad he did!

Artists get paid here and I believe royalty checks form one's performing rights org. i.e. BMI, ASCAP, SECAC

Anyone have any info on Reverb Nation reporting to BMI,ASCAP etc.?

Ghost Riders™ are gearing up for lots of touring in 2010, and plan on recording LIVE music to go along with a new video for Ghost Riders™ and Ghost Riders the LEGENDS™ group. Some of the video will come from our appearance in GAINESVILLE,FL at the BACKSTAGE LOUNGE. Thanks ED!!! and RICK BROYLES!!

There seems to be good interest in the LEGENDS arm of the group, probably to include: Dan Toler (Allman Bros, Dickey Betts guitar player), Artimus Pyle (Lynyrd Sknyrd drummer),Dave Muse(founding member of FIREFALL -- flute,sax organ,vocals,piano EVERYTHING!)

What a talent Dave Muse is! Easy and fun to work with on the road as well.

We are releasing another CD on http://www.phoenxirecords.de Phoenix Records in the next 30 days or so.

It will be our second release on this label. European distrobution, with tour dates hopefully late summer/fall.

Also featuring a duet with Gretchen Wilson,guitar work by the late great George McCorkle,vocals and bass by my long time and good friend Billy Greer from the fantastic band KANSAS. Also guest appearances from Randall Hall (Lynyrd Skynyard guitar player) and Lutz Melzer on bass guitar from the band NOCTURN.

In summary: The Ghost Riders™ continue to endure after more than 7 years. As band leader, I am truely blessed. Because a REAL band is what I've wanted since I was a kid. It's not everyday you find a combination that works, sometimes not even in one's lifetime. So thank you, PUG BAKER, PHILL STOKES,BARRY RAPP,JIMMY BENNETT, JIMMY SEXTON; and GOD for making a dream come true.
