For a number of years, longtime THIN LIZZY members Scott Gorham, Darren Wharton and Brian Downey, along with singer Ricky Warwick and others, successfully kept the legacy of the Irish legend alive, bringing all the great LIZZY classics to stages all over the world. However, as soon as they started to write and record new material, it was clear that due to respect for the great Phil Lynott this would not happen under the old banner.
That's how the BLACK STAR RIDERS were born, in which Gorham and Warwick are joined by Damon Johnson, Robbie Crane and Chad Szeliga. Together they let THIN LIZZY's unmistakable sound live on and enrich it with a healthy amount of new elements giving the band its own fresh identity. The result: true LIZZY fans are still enthusiastic, while the quintet, with its four albums to date (including the latest cracker 'Another State Of Grace'), has been able to gather many new fans. Look forward to this great act at ROCK OF AGES 2020!
