The American return of THE LONG RYDERS!


"One of the greatest proto-Americana outfits ever to tread the boards, bubba!"
- Fred Mills, Blurt Magazine Online

By Popular Demand - Second Show Added for The Long Ryders in Atlanta!

There are now TWO opportunities to see The Long Ryders perform in the U.S. - Friday, January 9 has been added to the original Saturday, January 10 date for The Long Ryders' performance at The EARL in Atlanta, GA!

The Long Ryders - Sid Griffin (guitar, vocals), Stephen McCarthy (vocals, guitar), Tom Stevens (bass, vocals), Greg Sowders (drums) - last reunited back in 2004 to tour the UK and Europe, but have not played as a band on U.S. soil since their break-up in 1987. The shows at The EARL - an intimate 270 seater club - will be the first time the band has played together in the U.S. since that tour.

You can purchase tickets for the newly added January 9, 2009 show through The EARL ticket office, or click on this link:
http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/1519.aspx

Advanced tickets for either show are $18 ($20 at the door the night of the show).

But wait - there's more! To make the deal even sweeter, there are a limited number of two-night pass tickets available at the discounted price of $32.00 for both shows!

You know that one night is not enough when it comes to The Long Ryders, so hurry and take advantage of this offer while these passes are available, as they won't last long. Two-night passes can be purchased ONLY through Ticket Alternative: http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/1530.aspx


Tickets for the original January 10 date are available at The EARL ticket office and through Ticket Alternative: http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/990.aspx

This may be your only opportunity to see The Long Ryders live in the U.S., so if you're smart you'll buy your tickets NOW, as this is sure to be a sell-out!

Rest assured that The Long Ryders are still a happily reunited band, and are anxious to resume gigs as soon as our schedules coincide. The Atlanta show is confirmed, We hope we can play more gigs for our fans all over the world in 2009 and 2010.

Another Room and Points Revisited CDs are now available for a limited time. Both releases are also available on iTunes.

WHEN WILL YOU BE PLAYING IN name of city?
Soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks to all for staying in touch, and keeping the faith.
Tom
