RECENT HISTORY
The New Riders of the Purple Sage are a San Francisco based band started by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead in 1969. Since 2005 Penque has been touring the country with NRPS playing to sold out crowds. The current line of New Riders includes founding members David Nelson and Buddy Cage along with Johnny Markowski and Michael Falzarano. The band released a live album, Wanted: Live at Turkey Trot, and two studio albums, Where I Come From and 17 Pine Avenue. In late 2016 the New Riders took a break from the road while Daivd and Buddy both battle cancer. “I love this music, especially the old classic versions of these New Riders songs, So, I decided to form my own version of a New Riders as a tribute band that really captures the sounds of the original line up”. The band is polished and sounding fantastic. New Riders fans are in for a big treat with Ronnie Penque’s “Panama Dead”.
