Cody Bryant with the Riders of the Purple Sage January 14, 2013

Celebrate the music of the West performed by Cody Bryant with the Riders of the Purple Sage. Welcome Cody Bryant with the Riders of the Purple Sage back to Bakersfield and the Rabobank Theater.

Unforgettable melodies, tight harmonies, red-hot musicianship, and a fast-paced show are trademarks of Cody Bryant with the Riders of the Purple Sage.

Under the leadership of Foy Willing in the 40s and Cody Bryant today, they still go their own musical way with a sound that is uniquely their own. With deep roots in many American folk styles, they blend elements of the classic sound of Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers with bluegrass, Cajun, and Bob Wills-style western swing into their own musical vision.

Enjoy selections like Happy Roving Cowboy, Cool Water, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Back in the Saddle Again, Nobody Kisses their Horse Anymore, and Tumbling Tumbleweeds.

While Cody and the Riders draw on their rich history, theirs is not a nostalgia show. Their musical vision looks the future straight in the eye, with an energetic, driving delivery, and fresh new material that make them crossover crowd pleasers, delighting newcomers as well as their legion of long-time fans. They are as comfortable at a cowboy gathering as they are in the concert hall. The Riders recently created arrangements for full orchestra and have performed with numerous symphonies in the Southwest.
