About the Band
In 1980, four young Winnipeg lads got together
with an idea of a band which brought together
the "World's Greatest Entertainers", live on stage.
Since the four lads grew up with the Beatles, everyone suggested
"Let's do the biggest things that happened to Rock 'n' Roll!"
The band started out strictly as a Beatle & 50's Rock 'n' Roll band but after
6 months of unbelievable success
the move to find the "Elvis" & the "Rolling Stone" man was on its way.
Accidentally, one day in a small Winnipeg deli, he was found.
Elvis & Mick Jagger then joined forces with the Beatles & the 50's
greasers to widen the diversity of the Free Ride Project at that time.
The combination project achieved more success than the band could have dreamed
of.
For the recent past few years, Free Ride has specialized and refined three different acts, all in one show:
50's Rock 'n' Roll, The Beatles & The Rolling Stones.
They just recently changed the Rolling Stones set to a "Seventies" rock set!
You have got to see their show! It is truly phenomenal!!!!!!!!
The present members of the band are:
Founder: Wayne Hlady - (Harry - Ringo Starr - 70's Drummer)
Jerry Hlady - Yes, we are brothers!!!!! - (The "Bruiser" - John Lennon - 70's Guitar)
Randy Moroz - ("Norman the Nerd" - Paul McCartney - 70's Bassist)
Tom Pshednovak - ("Tommy P Cool" - George Harrison - 70's Lead Guitar)
