Their songs are catchy with great melodies, everything sounds fresh and is at times even reminiscent of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. This summer, Dark Ride Brothers will play concerts not only in Finland but also in Germany and Italy, which doesn’t come as a surprise, as their music can easily compete on an international level.

Altstadt-festival 2019 (Germany)

I am always looking for nationally and internationally well-known rock, pop and soul artists for the “prime time” of the Altstadtfest in Salzgitter-Bad with its up to 45,000 visitors. In 2019, I had booked Dark Ride Brothers as the Saturday night main act and it was a complete success. For two hours, the sympathetic guys from Finland rocked the stage and even our Lord Mayor put on his Stetson to have great fun with the crowd.

The music of the Dark Ride Brothers conveys a really great and emotional attitude towards life that breaks with the traditional country music clichés and allows a refreshing view on the flourishing and diverse music scene in Finland.

Marias Ballroom (Hamburg, Germany)

Dark Ride Brothers rocked Marias Ballroom in Hamburg for the first time on 28.6.2019. With their rousing show full of energy, they engulfed the audience right from the start and did not let it go until the last note was played. DRB performed one big song after another and the audience danced and sure had a ball. I’d always book them again. Highly recommended!

Grosse Freiheit 36 / Kaiserkeller (Hamburg, Germany)

Tonight I could witness something special! Cowboys from Finland were bringing Country Rock on the stage of the Kaiserkeller! And they rocked our stage just like the Beatles did when they started their career! Something everyone should at least experience once in their lifetime!

DRB was our cooperation partner on an information tour for funding opportunities in rural areas, where the band entertained the audience acoustically. We received a complete solution, DRB even took care of the advertising material. The tour itself and our joint marketing went really well and the team was very flexible. The tour has received much attention in both social and traditional media. The appearances of DRB have received a lot of positive feedback from our audience and our partners: The relaxed country mood left a lasting impression.

The atmosphere was absolutely stunning. ❤ One hour before the gig, the place was already full and a queue of 15-20 people had to be kept at the door. A great event!
