Duo
“The three-year span of 2014-16 netted them six Austin Music Awards, including three straight Band of the Year honors, which put them on an exclusive list alongside Grammy winners Los Lonely Boys and indie rock outfit Spoon. That's remarkable for an act that put out an eponymous five-song EP in 2013 before essentially ghosting the studio.” —The Austin Chronicle
BIOGRAPHY
As comfortable in small, intimate venues as they are on large festival stages, Riders Against the Storm transforms every audience they reach with a refreshing magic and flair that few possess today. Led by husband and wife duo Chaka and Qi Dada, RAS cast out invitations to the world: Come and party. From beginning to end, audiences need to get ready for what Austin American-Statesman’s Deborah Sengupta Stith calls a “post-millennial second-coming of George Clinton's mothership.”
