BIO:

Wild Ride is an award-winning rock 'n roll band from Los Angeles, playing clubs in Southern California, and around the world. They were described in the Polish national newspaper as the intersection of Jimi Hendrix and Rolling Stones. In repertoire, they have covers as well as songs written by the leader of the band, Marek Lisiak, who was born in Poland, raised in Paris and since 2001 lives and creates in the USA. 

On drums and vocals, and also a co-writer of the music, stars “Kerri Berry” born in New Zealand and raised in the ethnic Maori cultural environment. This inspires a free “released” sense of feeling in her rhythm and a tribal voice. In conjunction with the virtuosity and the sound of their leader, it transports you to a place where freedom and music dominates in a forgotten mysterious world. 

On the Bass Diego Gonzales.

Wild Ride had their music accepted into the prestigious Grammy Awards in the rock category in 2015 and 2016. They have played over 400 concerts in the USA, Europe and New Zealand, and most recently (2018) headlined Zlotoryja Days Festival in Poland, and were onstage for the Guiness World Record in Wroclaw, Poland where the record was broken for most guitarists playing “Hey Joe” at the same time; 7,411.

Wild Ride has played with other artists such as Richie Ramone (of The Ramones), WAR, Eric Burdon, Berlin, Third World, The Fixx, Dale Bozzio, Emmylou Harris, Albert Lee, Texas Tornados, The Outlaws, Mark Farner (Grandfunk Railroad), Gene Loves Jezebel, Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real (Willie Nelson’s son), Bulletboys and more.
