-----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!
