Biography

Riders Of The Canyon is a Folk-Rock band featuring Joana Serrat, Matthew McDaid, Roger Usart and Victor Partido, which was formed in early 2017. All songs have been composed and written by the Riders Of The Canyon and David Gimenez, and features outstanding performances from guest musicians BJ Cole (Elton John, R.E.M., John Cale), Cory Gray (The Delines, Laura Gibson, Richmond Fontaine), Jason Kardong (Brandi Carlile, Marissa Nadler, Margo Cilker), Grammy winner Jesse Chandler (Midlake, Mercury Rev, Beth Orton), Joey McClellan (Midlake, John Grant, Rufus Wainwright), Grammy winner McKenzie Smith (St. Vincent, Sharon Van Etten, First Aid Kit), Aaron McClellan (Israel Nash, Josh T. Pearson, Alejandro Escovedo) and many more. As a result of this powerful meeting of such talented artists, Riders Of The Canyon’s debut features ten superb songs which reflect the best songwriting abilities of each of them: rapturous, addictive and contagious energy, enveloping acoustic landscapes, and the wonderful combinations of vocal harmonies. Uncut rated it with a 9/10, and the legendary journalist Allan Jones wrote "It's sublime...a wonderful album". The album was recorded between Barcelona, Girona, Texas, Nashville, Oregon and London, produced by John Morgan Askew, Joey McClellan, McKenzie Smith and the Riders Of The Canyon, and mixed by Grammy winner Ted Young (Kurt Vile, Mercury Rev, Israel Nash) and John Morgan Askew (Neko Case, She & Him, Alela Diane).
