Range Riders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Range Riders are an American musical group. Their family-friendly music blends gospel, country and western music.
Officially formed on 18 August 1981, the Range Riders emerged from the western music and singing cowboy era of the early 1930s. One of their members, Roland Fraser, 83, has been involved with similar groups since the 1940s. The Range Riders introduced a blend of western harmonies coupled with country styles to form a signature sound known as "cowboy music".
The Range Riders have toured extensively over the decades, performing on local and regional TV and radio shows, fairs and large concert venues, and sharing the stage with performers such as Country Star, David Frizzell, Roy Clark, Al Petty, James Blackwood and the Blackwood Brothers, Max Crook (cowriter of the 1961 Del Shannon hit Runaway), Vern Jackson and others.
