The Bikeriders Tour is an annual adventure that sees Lucero lead singer Ben Nichols and his longtime friend, tattoo artist Oliver Peck, hitting the open road to combine their passions for motorcycles, music, and tattoos. This unique tour allows them to travel around the country, with each day filled with tattooing and each night devoted to acoustic solo performances by Ben.

The origins of the Bikeriders Tour date back to 2011, when Ben Nichols embarked on the first tour alone, riding his trusty ‘07 BMW R1200GS. Inspired by his love for both motorcycles and music, Ben decided to merge these interests into a distinctive tour experience. The following year, Oliver Peck, along with a few other tattoo artists, joined Ben on their Harleys, turning the tour into an annual tradition that blends artistry, camaraderie, and the open road. Each year, they carve out a week or two to embark on this journey, creating memorable experiences along the way.

During the tour, Oliver Peck spends his days tattooing at local shops in each city they visit. His expertise and reputation as a top-tier tattoo artist draw in crowds eager to get inked by him. In the evenings, Ben Nichols takes the stage at nearby venues, delivering intimate acoustic solo shows that captivate audiences with his soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics. Oliver, serving as the host and MC, adds a layer of camaraderie and entertainment, making each night a unique experience for attendees.

This year, the tour welcomes renowned Cleveland tattoo artist Greg Christian, adding even more talent and excitement to the lineup. With Christian's participation, the tour continues to evolve, offering fans and attendees an even richer experience.

The Bikeriders Tour is not just about music and tattoos; it's also about giving back. Sponsors like Simpson Motorcycle Helmets and White Knuckler Brand knives have generously donated helmets and handmade knives for nightly raffles. The proceeds from these raffles are donated to American Core, a nonprofit organization dedicated to veterans' mental health. This philanthropic aspect adds a meaningful dimension to the tour, allowing fans to contribute to a worthy cause.

The tour's name, Bikeriders, is derived from a Lucero song inspired by Danny Lyon’s famous book of photographs from the 1960s. The book's vivid depiction of motorcycle culture inspired Ben to write the song, which in turn inspired the tour. Despite the years and miles, Ben still rides the same BMW R1200GS he started the tour with in 2011, symbolizing the enduring spirit and continuity of this unique journey.

With its blend of music, motorcycles, tattoos, and good times, the Bikeriders Tour is a celebration of passion, friendship, and

Ricochet is a country music band that rose to fame in the mid-1990s, becoming known for their distinctive harmonies and energetic performances. Formed in 1993 in Oklahoma, the original lineup consisted of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Heath Wright, lead guitarist Eddie Kilgallon, bass guitarist Greg Cook, drummer Jeff Bryant, and keyboardist Teddy Carr. Ricochet quickly gained attention in the country music scene with their blend of traditional country and rock influences, setting them apart from other acts of the time.

Their breakthrough came in 1996 with the release of their self-titled debut album under Columbia Records. The album spawned several hit singles, with the standout track "Daddy's Money" becoming their signature song. "Daddy's Money" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and was a commercial success, solidifying Ricochet's place in the country music industry. The song, with its catchy melody and relatable lyrics about a young man's infatuation with a girl whose charm and beauty overshadow her wealthy background, became a fan favorite and remains one of the most memorable tracks of the 1990s country music era.

In addition to "Daddy's Money," the band's debut album produced other notable singles such as "What Do I Know" and "Love Is Stronger Than Pride," both of which charted in the Top 10 on the country charts. These songs showcased Ricochet's ability to blend heartfelt lyrics with upbeat, toe-tapping rhythms, earning them a loyal fanbase and critical acclaim.

One of the defining features of Ricochet's music is their tight vocal harmonies, which set them apart from many of their contemporaries. This vocal blend became a hallmark of their sound, drawing comparisons to legendary groups like the Eagles. Their ability to harmonize effortlessly was a key factor in their success and contributed to their reputation as a dynamic live act.

Ricochet continued to release music throughout the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, with albums like Blink of an Eye and What a Ride. Although they never quite recaptured the commercial success of their debut, they remained a popular touring band, beloved by fans for their high-energy shows and relatable songs.
