New Riders of the Purple Sage to benefit NJ Highlands Coalition

Roy’s Hall proudly presents the The New Riders of the Purple Sage in concert to benefit our friends at the NJ Highlands Coalition. The Highlands Coalition’s mission is to protect, restore, and enhance the water and other natural and cultural resources of New Jersey’s Highlands, now and for the future. 

Whether they are referred to as country rock or psychedelic folk, New Riders Of The Purple Sage were an influential presence in the merging of sixties music with traditional country. In the late 60s and early seventies, groups like The Flying Burrito Brothers, Dillard Clark, The Band, Gram Parsons and even Bob Dylan immersed themselves in Western culture. On the San Francisco scene, The Grateful Dead (in particular Jerry Garcia who took up the pedal steel guitar, and earlier the banjo) developed a relationship with a group of musicians that would eventually become New Riders Of The Purple Sage.

All tickets general admission – $28.50 in advance / $33.50 day-of-show
