Tornado Rider is a one-of-a-kind mystical experience driven by the mammoth power of an electric cello. They sing powerful anthems about falcons, whirlwinds, and pretty girls, which will haunt your brain for weeks. Their delivery of this groundbreaking new style of music is filled with so much energy, it forces you to do a lightning dance! They are fronted by the most animated and original cellist known to man, who yells triumphant melodies as he leaps around the stage dazzling the crowd with his virtuosity. If you ever have the chance to witness Tornado Rider’s magically costumed theatrical parade of showmanship, musicality, athleticism, and humor, you will be transported to another dimension, and you WILL be entertained!!! Frontman Rushad Eggleston (“the Cello Panther”) was nominated for a grammy, attended Berklee College of Music on full scholarship, invented bluegrass cello, started a worldwide folk cello revolution, cast sound-tornadoes all over the world, and is half goblin. Drummer Scott Manke (“Baron Skatorthius von Doodooheimer”) is a powerful American noise craftsman who whacks the drums with the fatal vengeance of a wind-weathered lightning captain, and is an expert in barnyard noises. Electric bassist Graham Terry (“Grameecious the Black”) is a sneaky young man who infects the masses with his danceable impish bass lines while a mysteriously freaky energy exudes from his being.
