Roundup Record Tribune & Winnett Times -

RIDE’s 16th annual event this year looks to the biggest yet with Joe Nichols headlining on July 3rd at the City Outdoor Stage. And, just announced, RIDE is bringing back to Roundup one of the most popular groups to appear at the annual event. Hotel California was last here in 2014, the year before the Outdoor Stage was built. George Dickenson of the band tells Mike Morgan, “We’ve heard about the new venue and have tried to get back to Roundup to play, but our schedule and yours just didn’t allow, until now. We consider Roundup one of our most favorite places to play. We can’t wait to bring our music back to Montana. We love the people of Roundup. We are always treated so well. We can’t wait”.

“Hotel California, A Salute to the Eagles” is the ONLY show with Official Authorization to perform the Eagles catalog of music. The boys have been performing for over two decades, and have touched the hearts of fans all over the world, by faithfully and accurately reproducing the Grammy award winning sounds of the Eagles. The band has gained a level of international recognition normally reserved only for gold and platinum recording artists. Their show is full of great harmonies, authentic instrumentation, including all the instruments in a stage spectacle that is both modern and exciting. You’ll hear all the Eagles hits such as “Take it Easy”, Heartache Tonight”, “Tequila Sunrise”, and of course “Hotel California”. Plus, they’ll do a lot of the solo works of Don Henley, Glen Frey, and Joe Walsh.

Hotel California will headline the July 4th show at the Outdoor Stage at 7:30pm. Lots of good things will be happening that evening. A special military appreciation is in the works. Jason Larson will open with his one of a kind show, and the best fireworks in Montana will light up the sky right after the show from the boys from Lake Arrowhead, California.

RIDE’s 16th annual event will kick off on July 2nd at the stage with the 2nd annual Talent Show. More details later, but rumor has it that the winner of the contest will perform on the stage with the great Joe Nichols at 7:30pm. Stay tuned for more details on the Talent show. There’s the Run-Walk-RIDE fun run, the Top Shot Competition, Buttons and Bows Rodeo, Kids Kountry, vendors and much more. All it takes is a wrist band to get you into all events except the fun run.
