Kids on stage
The Riders perfrom with kids from the audience.
|
Second Set
The second set featured more music, laughs and a costume change.
|
Solo
All kids from the audience were invited to the stage to sing on a few tunes, some even got to solo.
|
Doug and Slim
After more than 30 years touring and close to 6,000 shows, Ranger Doug and Too Slim still know how to rock out.
|
Woody Paul
Woody Paul, "King of the Cowboy Fiddlers," sings lead and tenor vocals, and gained early experience in country-western music by hanging out with the likes of Roy Acuff. When not dazzling Riders fans with his fiddle, he's thrilling them with intricate rope tricks which he swears he'll get right before his career is over.

Joey Miskulin
Accordionist Joey, the CowPolka King, "plays both ends against the middle," as they say, on his "stomach Steinway." The master musician, who apprenticed with the late polka king Frank Yankovic and has recorded with everyone from Roy Rogers to U2, is also the Riders' album producer and a licensed driver.
|
Too Slim
Too Slim uses his face as an instrument during one of the show's funnier moments.
|
Ranger Doug
Guitarist Ranger Doug, "Governor of the Great State of Rhythm," sings lead and baritone vocals with an ever-present big grin and warm twinkle in his eyes. A yodeler of breathtaking technique, he is also an award-winning Western music songwriter in his own right--and a distinguished music historian whose 2002 Vanderbilt University Press book "Singing in the Saddle" was the first comprehensive look at the singing cowboy phenomenon that swept the country in the 1930s.

For the Birds
Riders in the Sky perform in front of a Disney Pixar short film called For the Birds. The group wrote and recorded the score for the film as well as other Disney films, most notably Toy Story 2.
