Rooster Riders are a young, high-energy band playing American progressive power bluegrass. Their repertoire, combining both covers and original songs in English, draws on modern bluegrass while confidently crossing into related genres, creating a distinctive sound of their own. The authentic American edge comes from vocalist and guitarist Matt Whitten, originally from Virginia. He is joined by bandleader and fiddler Jiří Loun, alongside outstanding instrumentalists Vojta Šlajs on banjo and Michal Rudolf Cádra on mandolin, as well as Kuba Janíček, who bends the limits of what can be played on the double bass.
The band is known for its inventive arrangements, top-tier musicianship, and electrifying energy.
