We are delighted to welcome one of Europes’s top blues bands, the Lee Ryder Band, back to St Harmonica’s after an absence of nearly three years. Lee Ryder has played professionally since the age of 14, managed initially by Chas Chandler of the Animals who also managed Jimi Hendrix. The artists Lee has worked with are amongst the best in the business and include members of Whitesnake, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Stevie Marriott - the list is endess.
The musicians behind Lee Ryder in this talented band are Vince Lewis on Bass who has been with Lee for over 25 years, Chris Parren on Keyboards (The Strawbs), Roger Brewer on drums and Matt Backer on Guitar (Julian Lennon, ABC etc), one of the most sought after session guitarists in the world today. All have well deserved reputations.
