Biography
Riders In The Sky is a Grammy award-winning American cowboy band formed in Nashville, Tennessee on November 11, 1977. The group was originally a trio (composed of guitarist "Ranger Doug" Green, bassist Fred "Too Slim" LaBour, and fiddle-player "Woody Paul" Chrisman) for their first decade, adding famed accordionist Joey Miskulin to their line-up in 1988. The group has recorded for MCA, Columbia, Sony, Walt Disney Records, Warner Western, and were one of the early break-out stars from the Rounder Records label in the late 1970s. Outside of their music, the band is best remembered for their countless appearances on The Nashville Network during the entirety of the channel's 20 year lifespan with their own weekly anthology program "Tumbleweed Theater" (1983-1987), several specials throughout the 1990s, and many performances on programs like "Nashville Now" and "The Grand Ole Opry Live".
