For over thirty years Riders in the Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing Western music. And while remaining true to the integrity of the genre, they have themselves become modern-day icons by adding their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit.
As a classic cowboy quartet, the trail has led them to heights they could have never predicted. Riders have chalked up over 5,400 concert appearances in all 50 states and 10 countries, appearing in venues everywhere from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall. Their cowboy charisma and comedic flair have made them naturals for TV, radio and film. In 2001, Riders won their first Grammy Award for their song Woody’s Round Up in Toy Story 2 and two years later they roped their second Grammy for Monsters Inc. – Scream Factory Favorites, the companion CD to Pixar’s award-winning movie.
