THE RIDE

Thanks for stopping by to check out THE RIDE! We're a classic rock band that brings an energetic show to venues all over the Northeast Florida area. Our song list includes hits from bands like Styx, Kansas, Deep Purple, Rush, Journey, Bon Jovi, hits from top new artists, as well as our own material. This gives audiences a show that is more like a party and we love to see everybody having fun. After all, having fun is what it's all about. Right?To pull music like this off you need talented players, who are as strong vocally as they are instrumentally. Our lineup starts with Tommy D on lead vocals. Tommy is also a very accomplished drummer, so you'll see him back on the drums once in a while. That leads us to our next member, Kenny Hensley on drums and vocals. Kenny also comes out from behind the drums to do some lead vocals and guitar while Tommy swaps places behind the drum kit. Next we have Mike Davis ..boards and vocals, who also does lead vocals on several songs. Then we have our "AxeWheelder", Mark Wheeler on guitar and vocals, who also happens to be a very accomplished drummer himself. Finally we have Ken Arnold on bass and vocals.It also takes great gear to make sure the music comes across exactly as the original artist intended, so we use only the best quality instruments, amps, speakers, and effects to give the venue and fans what they deserve.
