Story Road, with Marc Ribler, Releases ‘Armageddon’

story road armageddon

Singer-Songwriter-Arranger-Guitarist Marc Ribler, besides being the Musical Director of Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul, and co-producer of the legendary Darlene Love, has a new trio, Story Road, and their first single, “Armageddon,” landed yesterday. It is the first blast from the upcoming Story Road debut on Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records. The band also features drummer Charley Drayton who previously kept the beat for Bob Dylan, Expensive Winos with Keith Richards and The Divinyls plus another Disciple, bassist Jack Daley, who’s manned the bottom for Lenny Kravitz and The Spin Doctors.

Ribler: “I started out playing the Jersey bars, the high school dances and all the storied Jersey Shore rock’n’roll haunts like The Fast Lane and Stone Pony in Asbury Park. Looking back, the past few years seemed like the perfect launch pad for armageddon, or at least a zombie apocalypse or two. It certainly felt that way to many of us. I am so incredibly thankful for music, rock’n’roll in particular, as a sanctuary to worship and channel all of life’s joy, sorrow, pain and bliss. Let’s keep basking in that light, my friends.”

Van Zandt: “When Marc isn’t putting together amazing bands for me, he’s writing great songs and has been doing it for years [since the age of 14]. His new album for Wicked Cool will play like a greatest-hits collection. He can do it all.”
