The China Cat Riders play the music in the mystical trench that the Grateful Dead forged through the sonic center of rock and roll. We are looking for that shared and special consciousness that lives in the best jams.

The China Cat Riders offer an authentic dose of The Dead. We have two drummers and a real Hammond Organ and Leslie. We’ve got a bass player with 6 strings and a whole whack of Phil Bombs, and we’ve got the dual guitar dance going on. We are not shy of the long and deep cuts, and we don’t do it note for note. We know the music plays the band.

We are proud and humbled as we watch the Dead Head community unite at our gigs and dance to this extraordinary music.

Help us push the traditions Furthur.

Catch The China Cat Riders wherever the bus takes us. There will ALWAYS be music to fill the air! (~);-}

Our members are Kevin Bowers (Jerry), Dan Curtis (Bob), Adam Hodge (Phil), Wes Garland (Brent or Keith, he can't decide), Simon Handley (Mickey) and Pete Bowers (Bill)
