DESCRIPTION:
C.C. RYDER EXPRESS Is an established group of highly polished professional musicians and entertainers. The manager (Bobby Van Rooy) has performed with some of the top artists in the country; Burt Bacharach, Osmonds, Don Ho, Nancy Wilson, Englebert Humperdinck,Sonny & Cher, 3 Dog Night, Steppin' Wolf, The Association, Ray Peterson and finished a three year run with 'THE RIGHTEOUS BROS'. Along with Charlene Tarango and her incredible vocal dexterity, Fred Alwag and Paul Darrow they have the vocal power you'd expect from a group that size and of that caliber. Bobby is multi talented and knows how to get the crowd going. Tony Lugo a veteran for many years is a crowd pleaser too and a showman on lead guitar like you've never seen. Fred Alwag has played with some of the top names in the Industry; Donna Summer, Laura Brannigan, Roger Miller, Bobby Sherman, The Tonight Show, etc

There is no horn section like the C.C. RYDER HORN DOGS, their skill and professionalism is hard to beat, they are in demand in studio's and many of the local events here!

C.C. RYDER can go from a five piece band to a 12 piece band. Mostly performing as a 9 to 10 piece band. Their powerful horn section is unmatched here in Arizona. They have done many weddings, corporate, & local concert events. You'll get a chance to read the bio of all the members in the band and see their recommendations from their clients.

They can do great dance music from soul, disco, funk, rock, r&b, pop, to swing. They have a wide variety of music to suit any event that you may be planning. For corporates they can adhere to whatever theme you decide to take on for your event. For weddings if they don't know the first dance for the bride and groom they will learn it for you (ample notice must be given to learn new material).

Check this band out!!
