Still Kickin'

About Me


Still Kickin' came about when David, Charlie and Mary decided to evolve from getting together and practicing to performing. We have all performed together at different times over the years, and feel that by putting together our favorite songs and styles, we come up with a rich and unique blend of music. Our influences are many, and our repitoire reflects that. We will also be incorporating some original songs as well. Still Kickin's blend of music includes, country/rock, folk and pop. Now with our new drummer, Steve, our playlist has further expanded in style and tempo. We are excited to record again once we get a little more practice in, and we are even more excited to get some performances in this Summer.
We are also very excited to announce that Conrad is learning how to operate our sound boards quite well and he's picking up an ear for it...So we'd like to introduce you to our new sound engineer Conrad Ladouceur!

She’s also performed with the Native artist Howard Lyons as a back-up singer and percussionist. Mary was also a founding member of The Spare Room Studio in Bethlehem, NH and worked as a recording engineer for 11yrs (1992-2003).

-----David Sargent (Lead Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals)-----

David’s love of music began when he was young watching his father play guitar with local musicians, and since then he has been actively playing music with various bands. These various bands include "Up With People" "Country Caival" "Brothers of The Road" "Kings Highway" and "The Five Decades Band". David also founded the group Daybreak with Mary in 1977. He has also been performing in pit bands for local theatrical productions. David is an excellent guitar player with well over thirty years of experience under his belt.

-----Charlie Gamache (Bass Guitar, Keyboard, Bass Keys, Vocals)-----

Charlie Gamache is an excellent musician who is originally from Rhode Island; Charlie has been in the music scene for many years playing various types of music for all ages to enjoy. He moved to the North Country 10 years ago and has been performing all over New England with the popular Rock band Dirty Joke. Prior to that Charlie played with native artist Howard Lyons along with Mary as a bassist and harmony vocalist. Charlie’s goal now is to entertain young and old alike with the New and unique blend of music that his NEW band STILL KICKIN’ has put together.
-----Steve Riddensdale (Drums & Percussion)-----

The story of Steve begins when he started to play drums in the early 1960’s when a friend got him hooked. His early influences were The Ventures, and Duane Eddy. Toward the late 1960’s Steve was drawn to The Beatles, Stones, Doors, Cream, and Hendrix. His early performing days consisted of several bands and many performances for dances, parties, and bars around South-Eastern Mass. The last band he was in was "Tuesday’s Children" in which they would move around Rhode Island playing parties and mixers for most of the colleges. After a 38 year hiatus (20 of which were in NH) He found Still Kickin’, a group in which he could be reunited with his love of music and drums. Also the band is happy to have a drummer as talented and experienced as Steve.

Influences: Pure Prairie League, Gordon Lightfoot, America, Tom Petty, CCR, Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles, and many more!
