“There are no STARS on the stage this evening” announced Mitch Ryder as he wiped sweat from his forehead with a bright white towel mid-set at the Harmonie on Sunday night, before adding: “But believe you me, ALL these guys up here with me are great musicians!”
Many younger people might ask ‘Mitch who?’ Those of a slightly older disposition know better though. Take Bruce Springsteen: ‘The Boss’ is a big Ryder fan, and has even been known to slip in a medley of Ryder numbers at an arena gig. Bob Seger and Ted Nugent are also fans.
