Ridge Banks "Doors" GENRE: AMERICA/ROCK

This hard-hitting Rock song brings together an all-star lineup of musicians from both Nashville and the UK, delivering a Wall of Sound experience that doesn’t hold back. From the opening crash of thunder and rain, “Doors” sets an intense tone, propelled by Mark Haynes’ explosive drumming and Nick Plews’ driving basslines. Add in Niki Coldwell Evans’ soaring backup vocals with the masterful, layered guitar work of Doug Leonard, and this track is an absolute force. Lyrically, “Doors” is deeply personal. Penned by Ridge Banks himself, this song explores the long-term spiritual blindness that comes with childhood trauma, struggling to find clarity, unable to see the true meaning of life and all its wonders. Only by shining light to this darkness can we heal and “see Doors where we once saw Walls”

Recorded at Hidden Creek Studios in Nashville with Kevin Grenier and at Deadline Studio in Leicester, UK with

Adam Ellis, “Doors” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Ridge Banks & The Wall of Sound are gearing up for their highly anticipated “Cowboys and Foxes Tour” across the

UK this August. Helmed by industry veteran Nick Plews, the tour will feature an electrifying lineup, including Mark

Haynes, Harris Nixon, Sean Clutterham, and X-Factor Semi-Finalist Niki Coldwell Evans, alongside opening acts

Wild Daisy & The Blackhearts and Julian Jones.
