In 2007, three musicians of great experience, Alessandro Alessandrini, Luigi Ridolfi and Rodolfo Ridolfi, create a band that surprises. A trio that is rooted in blues and is nourished by the great history of American and English rock. And from the blues-rock the music of E.Z.RIDERS expands exploring the "southern harmonies", the "worship" of the jam, cultivating country and folk influences. An absolutely original ensemble, which reflects the legacy of the golden age of rock and blues jam bands of the seventies to deliver a new musical language strong and free. Alessandro Alessandrini began writing music and playing in clubs at the beginning of the nineties with the trio POISON WHISKEY. In 1998 joined the “OLD TENNIS SHOES”, a band well known on the local, which proposed a powerful british rock-blues. After six years with OLD TENNIS SHOES - during which the band has shared the stage with important artists of the blues-rock scene such as NINE BELOW ZERO and TOLO MARTON and has recorded a CD of original songs - in 2003 Alessandro Alessandrini form "TONY & THE SOUTHERN ROCKERS, southern rock band appreciated at regional and national levels. In 2005 he joins the “BLUES DOGS”, the italian cover band of the ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND; with BLUES DOGS plays at the 2007 edition of the “AMENO BLUES FESTIVAL”; they have a great success, this participation is reviewed on Buscadero, an important Italian music magazine. Luigi Ridolfi is a great blues-rock musician. Since the late seventies / early eighties his style as a bass player and background vocalist is absolutely unique and unmistakable. In the eighties, is well known with the “ROCK MAGAZINE BAND”, along with his brother Rodolfo Ridolfi on drums. In the second half of the eighties joins the OLD TENNIS SHOES and contributes significantly to the success and reputation of the local band. In 1999 Luigi Ridolfi meet Alessandro Alessandrini in the OLD TENNIS SHOES. Between the two was born a deep friendship and an important artistic partnership.

DANGERDOG REVIEWS http://www.dangerdog.com/ reviews_2009/e-z-riders-experienced-zydeco-riders.php :"E.Z. Riders's 'Experienced Zydeco Riders' is a hidden gem, totally unexpected and highly enjoyable mixture of country, southern, and melodic hard rock. A major label should latch on to these guys and not let go. Good stuff."

CONCRETEWEB E-ZINE :"What I found is great Blues Rock with the occasional Psychedelic or Country infusion …music which definitely lends itself to lengthy jamming in the form of freak-out guitar solos!"

HARD HARDER HEAVY MAGAZINE http://hardharderheavy.de/review_rezension/review_e_z_riders.shtml :"Very good stuff"

DIRTY ROCK MAGAZINE (E-ZINE)www.dirtyrockmagazine.com : "The different textures of the music overtake the senses whilst the band virtually free form their way through each tune. These guys are no mugs. They're been around long enough to not only know the music of the "golden days" but study it intimately giving this album an authenticity"

ANDY FLASH: SPINECHAINED-REVIEW http://www.andyflash.se/spinechained/prreviews/prezriders.htm:"Debut album from Italian Rock/Blues band E.Z. Riders. This is a tight rocking trio that introduces some brilliant 60's /70's feel to the jam. There's alot of southern rock influences but also some early Quo vibes and some Eagles. Great live feel on the tracks like it should be. 12 original songs that just makes me wanna get the party started. So you're looking for that perfect summer party rock album- This one's for you!!!!!!!!"

RADIO INDY www.radioindy.com :"The blues/rock band, E.Z. Riders, have released a throwback to the days of Humble Pie with their latest effort, "Experienced Zydeco Riders." Their roots are obvious, with raging Steve Marriott guitar riffs and gritty vocal tones reminiscent of early ZZ Top. "Witchy Woman" is by far the best track on the CD and is not an Eagles cover. Instead, it is an E.Z. Riders blues jaunt, filled with Lynyrd Skynyrd style slide guitar playing. That is really what this band and this disc are all about; strong and rocking guitars. If you crave more string bending guitar action, give a listen to songs like "I Should Have Quit You" and "Mean Mistreater" and you will get your fill. "Experienced Zydeco Riders" belongs in the hands of any 70's blues/rock fan."
