About Tony Ryder and the Idle Saints
Tony Ryder and the Idle Saints met several years ago through mutual friends and their shared musical community. They came together, like their music, organically with each person stepping into their respective roles within the band. Russell Brooks (guitar) spent 15 years in New York City playing his soulful “Chuck Berry meets Robbie Robertson” guitar stylings. Steve Montresor (drums) originally from south Philly grew up heavily influenced by the sounds of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. Dan Ruscito (Bass) lays the solid groove and has opened for acts such as Patti Griffin and Jason Isbell. Tony Ryder (guitar and vocals) draws his influences from the likes of Jackson Browne and Paul Westerberg. Also, he’s opened for artists such as Soul Asylum and Robyn Hitchcock.
Before a brief hiatus and a name change, Tony Ryder and the Idle Saints opened for the legendary Ian McClagan (the Small Faces, Faces, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones...) and “Mr. Superlungs,” Terry Reid.
Tony Ryder and the Idle Saints is a band that combines the elements of rock, soul, and country and sounds like Southern California in the early 70’s by way of Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
About Hockersville Station
Like Frankenstein, Hockersville Station was formed from the good parts of other bands to create a semi-scary, but lovable entity. The band has its own distinct sound thanks to the vocals and guitar of Mike Gingrich, and the classical-influenced violin from Lina Yang. They lean heavy on the Alt-Country influences of Jason Isbell, The Jayhawks, The Old 97’s and The Decemberists.
