"CCMA Winner Cody Bryant" on Fiddle, Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar & Vocals and Dart Zubis on accordian. The Riders of the Purple Sage are the perfect western Band to make an audience laugh, cry and remember a time when life was simpler and values more easily defined. The holders of numerous awards including six Golden Boots (The Western Grammys) The Riders are summed up best by this quote from Roy Rogers.... "With a great blend of voices, they make an authentically beautiful sound - like a western wind...."
