The Shadow Riders will perform at the DAC at the Drive-In series at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5, at Bridgton Twin Drive-In.

The Shadow Riders are a six-piece band performing the music of the original Marshall Tucker Band. Singer/guitarist Bruce Marshall has assembled an all star lineup of musicians to faithfully create this timeless music. Of particular note is the fact that Bruce Marshall played with Toy Caldwell, the lead guitarist, primary songwriter and co-founder of the Marshall Tucker Band. This gives the Shadow Riders a unique insight as to how this music was played, arranged and sold to the public. The Shadow Riders is a name Toy Caldwell used for his backing group with Marshall in ‘89 and ‘90 and is the title for one of his songs. Marshall Tucker were known for their innovative melding of country, blues, Southern rock, western, swing and jazz. This ensemble performs hits like “Can’t You See,” “Take the Highway,” “Fire on the Mountain” and other popular tunes from their heyday.

Denmark Arts Center, with the help of John Tevanian at the Bridgton Twin Drive-In, has, once again, set-up a series of live concerts. Bring your lawn chairs, lunch, and a bit of flexibility, as we will be following current CDC guidelines. These events are set-up in the parking lot of Bridgton Twin Drive-In lot II.
