Midnight Riders
Live on stage at Swine & Stein Brewfest – October 11, 2025 at 4pm in Gardiner, Maine
On Stage from 4-5pm
The Midnight Riders, from Knox & Waldo County, and are dedicated to Smugglers, Outlaws & Pirates. They are an exciting live band that will get folks dancing to Alt. Country, Soul, Roots & Blues / Rock N Roll originals written by members of the band. Playing over 200 live shows over the last 10 years has created a strong foundation for the band to work from. With direct inspiration in style & attitude from the Drive-By Truckers, Steve Earle & Maines own Mallett Brothers Band while also paying tribute to the classic period of working class rockers that date from the 70’s & 80s of Springsteen, Chinook, Costello, Ness & The Clash. Featuring Will Neils on Vocals, Mike Cole on Guitar & Vocals, Anthony Marsh on Bass & Sam Yawdik on Drums.
From Opera Houses & Islands to Granges & Barns we love playing our songs for the good people of Maine! With songs that comment on the land & people of Maine & the lives lived here. Stories & songs about Outlaws, Pirates, Weed Growers, Waldo County Girls, Lobsterbillys, Moonshine, Mushrooms & Whiskey.
