WOW! Last Night was amazing!!
the Riders sent their "bandbassadors" (Devin and Tom) to open for hitmakers America ("Horse with no name", "Sister Golden Hair") at Humphrey's by the Bay in San Diego, CA.

For those of you unfamiliar with Humphrey's - it is basically the coolest outdoor venue in So Ca. It is in Point Loma right on the harbor, so while standing on the stage to the right of you is a ton of boats. Quite often (Friday night being no different) boaters and kayakers will paddle their way into that corner of the harbor and watch the show from their boats. Humphrey's holds about 1,400 people at capacity and offers a very intimate show.

Devin and Tom concluded a longer than scheduled set featuring new tunes (to be released on the upcoming album) "Storylines", "Summer Rain", "Katie May I" in addition to a few live favorites like "Coalinga", "Toby's Song", and "Someday Soon". "These Stones" also made its live debut and received a lovely "awwwwwww" in addition to applause from the crowd when Tom told the story of how the song was an engagement gift.

At the end of the set the Riders were greeted by guitarist/keyboardest (for America) Mike Woods who asked if Devin and Tom would like to join America for their finale encore of "Horse With no Name" at the end of the night.

A few hours later, Gerry, Dewey, Mike, and the whole gang from America invited the Riders up to perform with them. Tom singing and playing tambourine and Devin (fiddle in hand) took a solo that made the crowd roar. At the end of the song Gerry and Dewey invited Devin and Tom to the front of the stage for a bow in front of the great crowd!!

Thanks everybody for a great night!!
