The Do Riders are a NSW mid-north coast band who play modern covers and originals in an old-timey /
Jack n Jel
Disappointed that The Do Riders aren't doin' their thing so much anymore? Well have a taste of what one half have done recently. Mark and Jane have put out their debut CD, on digital as well! Listen for free, or download, or get in touch for a hardcopy.
Want to listen for free? You can!
Want to have your own wee digital copy on your device? You can! Only AUD$7 (which, last time we looked was about 30c American). You can of course pay more, and for that we would be thankful (unless of course you don't like people who lie about international exchange rates).
We've recorded it. We've launched it. And the reviews from friends n family are very reassuring that we have done a fine job.
"Really impressed with the gentle beauty of it and blending of voices and instruments. Particularly love Oft in the Stilly Night with the uke lead and cello" - Cynthia.
"Will that do? Bu**er ya, it'll have to do ... btw ... nice vibe..." - James Hill, upon submitting his solo on "Into My Arms".
Changes during Mark's absence (and then Jane's), and other stuff (important to uke wielding folk).
Our latest newsletter. Some slight changes to our normal ukestras, all detailed here. Plus ... James Hill confirmed for JHUI and for performing at the Newkulele Festival with Anne Janelle.

We haven't put out a newsletter for maybe 6 weeks. Maybe that's a relief (you can easy unsubscribe), or maybe this is just the sort of news you need in your feed (easy subscribe!). We are back at the Conservatorium. We are in the Studio. We are in Hawaii, Austin and somewhere that we are not yet allowed to say (unless you read the newsletter). Uke festivals are oozing from everywhere!

The Do Riders at Foghorn Brewhouse this Sunday, and much more on in the world of Hunter Ukuleles...
The Do Riders are on this Sunday at the Foghorn Brewhouse. As usual we encourage people to come and play uke on a few songs, have a pizza or beer etc, and all at no cover charge.
We must be doing the right thing because national profile band, Gang ga Jang are doing the same thing at Lizottes. You'll pay much more than free, but you'll get a free dessert if you take your uke!
