What to expect
Echo Riders delivers a powerhouse live music experience spanning the definitive eras of rock and roll. Our catalog is a masterclass in cross-genre crowd-pleasing: we seamlessly blend the slide-guitar swagger of Southern rock (Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes, ZZ Top) with the timeless radio anthems of 70s arena rock (Tom Petty, Foreigner, The Rolling Stones, Eagles). We dial up the energy with high-voltage 80s icons and guitar-pop favorites (Pat Benatar, The Pretenders, Cheap Trick, Bryan Adams), and keep it razor-sharp with the hard-hitting alternative edge of the 90s (Foo Fighters, Green Day, Gin Blossoms, Social Distortion). No backing tracks, no gimmicks—just legendary songs played with authentic power and precision.
About
We are a hard-driving classic and alternative rock band made up of OC veterans who know how to work a room. We play the anthems everyone loves—from Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and The Black Crowes to Pat Benatar, The Pretenders, and heavy-hitting 90s alternative—all kept true to their original, high-energy form.
Whether we’re rocking local OC hotspots, the OC Fair, or the Orange International Food Festival, our focus is simple: zero dead air, packed dance floors, and a crowd that stays until last call.
Check out our lineup (Vic Jordan, Mandy Armstrong, Niall McSheffrey, Thomas Forte, and Richard Manning) and let us know what open dates you have coming up next month. Let's make it a massive night!
Additional booking notes
We will provide our sound, lighting and sound engineer for all performances. We need a stage or area with access to power.
