About Me

Freedom to the World Video2009 is a great year for Rivers & Roads, appearing in January on national Australian television with the song "Lane 6', written by Angie & Neil, in protest of the closing of the last cash toll booth on Sydney's Harbour Bridge. A friend of ours made the video, pretty amazing really."Lane 6" has been played on The Shed on Radio 2RDJ, Radio 2GB, Mix FM and you can also see it on the ABC's Sunday News TV program at 7pm on Sunday Jan 11th.The Recession Blues is a Blues blaster! A 2.5 min song sung by Neil, a timely reminder of the real causes of our economic crisis and a personal reflection of what can be done about it. Kevin G on guitar and Nick Hope on bass, Willem van Ekert on drums, Angie Paice on backing vocals. This song sees R&R doing what they do best, making a protest song about something that needs to be sung about!"Freedom to the World" is a rock/pop anthem that supports human rights such as "A Fair and Free World" and "We are all equal before the law." Rivers & Roads is committed to writing songs with meaning about love, hope and freedom. We rock, we pop, we folk, so we are a mixture of all sorts of interesting sounds and a wide range of lyrics.Albums Freedom to the World - 2008 Big & Blue - 2004 About You - EP - 2000 Kickin’ Dust - 1999Nicci Jones (Glen Innes NSW) crafted the R&R Logo.
