The 5th Annual RIDE FOR RONNIE Motorcycle Ride and Concert is set for Sunday, May 5, 2019, benefiting the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund. Comprised of a motorcycle ride originating at Harley-Davidson of Glendale and culminating with a concert at Los Encinos Park in Encino, the RIDE FOR RONNIE will raise awareness and funds for cancer prevention and research for a cure. The concert will once again be hosted by radio and television personality Eddie Trunk, and a group of stellar rock musicians under the banner of Eddie Trunk’s All Star Band will headline the afternoon of live music. Last year’s Ride brought in over $50,000 for the Dio Cancer Fund.
Riders will assemble for a continental breakfast at Harley-Davidson of Glendale with kickstands up at 11:00AM. The procession will travel around the northern edge of the San Fernando Valley to Los Encinos Park in Encino, where they will be treated to music, a raffle, silent and live auctions, food trucks and much more.
Kicking off the afternoon of live music at the Park will be the primal, melodic rock n’ roll of Sadie & The Tribe, fronted by renowned fitness and yoga instructor Sadie Nardini, followed by the popular DIO cover band DIA. Next up will be LA rock band Budderside, followed by Petty Cash, combining the music of Tom Petty and Johnny Cash and megarock band DC4, featuring Jeff, Matt and Shawn Duncan and former DIO band guitarist Rowan Robertson.
Just added to the lineup is LA’s own Bullet Boys. Headlining the afternoon will be Eddie Trunk’s All Star Band, featuring Black Star Riders‘ Ricky Warwick and Robbie Crane; Keith Nelson (Buckcherry); Dewey Bragg (Kill Devil Hill); actor/musician Sean McNabb (Lynch Mob, Dokken); Simon Wright (DIO, AC/DC, UFO), Jerry Montano (Hellyeah, Danzig), Ace Von Johnson (Faster Pussycat, LA Guns), Johnny Martin (LA Guns), Joey Scott (Lizzy Borden) Jimmy Burkard (West Bound, Billy Idol), Chas West (West Bound, Bonham, Lynch Mob) and Randy Rhoads’ brother singer Kelle Rhoads along with Nikki Lane Taylor and Gregory Alan Coates from the Kelle Rhoads Band. More participants will be announced shortly.
