The Midnight Riders

The Midnight Riders are an exciting live band that will get folks dancing to Alternative Country, Soul, Roots & Blues, and Rock ‘n’ Roll originals written by members of the band.

Playing over 200 live shows over the last eight years has created a strong foundation for the band to work from. With direct inspiration in style & attitude from the Drive-By Truckers, Steve Earle, and Maine’s own Mallett Brothers Band while also paying tribute to the classic period of working class rockers that date from the 70's & 80s of Springsteen, Costello & The Clash. Featuring Will Neils on Vocals, Mike Cole on Guitar and Vocals, and Sam Yawdik on Drums and Vocals.

From Opera Houses & Islands to Granges and Barns they love playing their songs for the good people of Maine! With songs that comment on the land and people of Maine and the lives lived here. Stories and songs about Outlaws, Pirates, Weed Growers, Waldo County Girls, Lobsterbillys & Mushrooms. From Knox & Waldo County, the band is dedicated to Smugglers, Outlaws & Pirates. #Music4Mainers
