It All Started When…

One night after playing music at a friend’s house, Kenny Lee Benson and Lindy Rasmussen stood in the parking lot and talked about country music until the wee hours of the mornings. They found that they had a mutual passion and decided to put a band together just for “laughs”. The Doo-Wah Riders are still going strong and enjoying the “laughs!”

The Doo-Wah Riders have been based in Southern California for over 35 years. They possess the rare combination of many years of experience and youthful energy, fired by a love for what they do. The Doo-Wahs are country with a unique original sound they define as “high energy country with a Cajun twist”. Their tight musicianship and powerful arrangements of classic and original songs have made them favorites everywhere they go.

“We had a real mix of music tastes and the various DJ’s of several different types of formats, so we weren’t certain which direction to go. The Doo-Wah Riders were the answer! A good band makes for a good party…and [The Doo-Wah Riders] are the reason everyone had such a great time!”
