Black Star Riders

Hard rock band Black Star Riders consists of the surviving members of Thin Lizzy. Continuing to write and record their own original material, the band is an evolution from their origins and is the next chapter in the story of Thin Lizzy. The band members include drummer Jimmy DeGrasso, lead guitar from Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson with vocals from Ricky Warwick and Robbie Crane on bass. They are about to hit the road for an extensive UK tour to promote their upcoming album Heavy Fire.

The band began in May of 2010 when Gorham reunited with former Thin Lizzy members Downey and Wharton. Recruiting additional members, they hit the studio and began to demo new material. However, in respect to departed front Phil Lynott the decision was taken to work under the new moniker; Black Star Riders.

Their first album release came at the start of 2013 with All Hell Breaks Loose. Featuring new material and capturing the raw live sound, the album was a hit with critics and rose to #25 in the UK album charts. This was followed in 2015 by their second album The Killer Instinct which was even more successful hitting #13 in the charts. Their latest album, Heavy Fire, was their first to break the Top 10 whilst also topping the Independent Albums chart in the UK.

Expected later in the year, their highly anticipated upcoming album will be called Another State of Grace.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be back with a brand-new Black Star Riders Album. In my honest opinion this is the best record the band has made! This is Christian and Chad’s first album with the band and they have brought a fantastic energy and vibe” - Ricky Warwick
