| "THE RIDLER BROTHERS" ~ Jeff and Steve, from the historical, all American town of Snohomish, North East of Seattle Washington, USA, came from quite the musical family, from their dad, “Doc Ridler" aka "The Piano Man" to the rest of the bunch, who sang and/or wrote music as well as played musical instruments. Jeff & Steve are singer/songwriters, who produce their own music. Much of their extensive repertoire, could kind of fit into commonly used sub-genres from Americana, Country, Rockabilly, Country/Rock, sometimes with a touch of R n B feel, to a straight out Western Swing or Cowboy Thing, with a Doo Wop feel, then they'll turn on the heel of the foot to a modern Edginess, but just as often go with a Traditional or Standard Pop feel ... Themes? Their music covers the gamut e.g., love songs, story songs, philosophy of why people do this, that or just want to have fun! Some of their music and lyrics seems to defy definition, but one thing is always clear, although they may have great interest & respect for many cultures, they are quite happy to be Americans! Check out some of their videos on the Patriotic Page or preview a broader range, on the Store Page, on Facebook or other Internet sites. Most of the Ridlers performances have been with their 6 piece band, often with legendary stars, where the press has been quite kind to "The Ridler Brothers", with reviews, having a pesky habit of standing up with some of the biggest acts in the business. |

You probably recognize Alan Jackson, between Jeff & Steve, but on
their right is Nathan Crow, a producer/writer/musician, who you will see
poggo sticking, with a bass guitar, in the Tommy Tutone video (Jenny
(876) 5309), when VH-1 or someone airs the old favorite. Last time the
Ridlers saw him, he was writing with Victoria Shaw, who wrote "The
mega hit, "The River", for Garth Brooks.
