Riser Returns Triumphant!



Monday June 4, 2001 marked a significant event in Boston’s

rock history. The long awaited reunion performance of Full House

recording artists Riser took place at Mount Blue in Norwell, Ma, a

club owned by Aerosmith, before a packed house. The news had

spread that this multi talented group was reuniting to perform some of

the great songs that are featured on their CD release "Resurrection".

The audience was full of many past, and present, dignitaries of

the area’s musical scene including popular rock DJ Harvey Wharfield,

Bellevue Cadillac Guitarist and Founder Doug Bell and former Johnny

Barnes drummer Artie Plummer. They, and the many friends and fans,

came to see if the boys could still Rock The House. Well, that question

was answered immediately after the group hit the stage.

Their opening tune "C’est Goodbye" immediately established the

fact that time had not diminished this bands talents. The powerful John

Kalishes guitar introduction soon led to the soaring vocals of lead

singer Tom Fey accompanied by the tremendous background

harmonies that are part of the Riser trademark. They followed with

"Never Get to Heaven", a fan favorite written by multi instrumentalist

John Garr and bassist Steve Assad, a song with a distinct R & B

flavor and a spectacular lead vocal performance.

The next two songs "Was It The Last Time" and "Tin Shield",

both written by Keyboardist Adrian Medeiros, displayed the

magnificent vocal and musical arrangements that everyone had come

to hear. Drummer Larry Dalton played with the same power and

precision that are his trademark and provided the inspiration for the

rest of the band to soar on the wings of the music. The final song

"Listen Son" showcased the amazing lead and background vocals that

are part of the Riser legend.

The crowd in attendance was thrilled to hear the live renditions

of the songs played, and sung, with the same majestic spirit as always.

There was nothing watered down about this performance. These guys

haven’t missed a step! The band is looking forward to a September

concert in Boston where they will perform all of the songs on the

current CD. There is also speculation that work will begin soon on a

new CD of current material.

Riser has returned and their performance at Mount Blue leaves

no doubt that the Magic is Back!
