Longriders band was put together in Daytona beach in the summer of 2005 , by 3 guitarist that had been playing together off and on with each other for years before. A powerful southern rock sound quickly emerged, and the LONGRIDERS soon began playing all across the state of Florida and Georgia also doing shows in Myrtle Beach and Sturgis. TONY G with his background in guitar sharpened with years of acoustical gigs, brings to the LONGRIDERS sound, a unique blend of strong chords and driving progressions that lead the band now with its Southern roots heritage apparent, driving the band to its incredible and powerful sound . TONY G spent years traveling with the CHARLIE DANIALS BAND and this was one of many influences that helped develop his talent for writing songs full of passion and reflections of life.
