Get ready for a night of loud, up-close-and-personal rock and roll when 97 Rock presents Crashing Wayward with special guest DROP the STAR, Saturday, October 24, at Ray’s Golden Lion in Richland.

Crashing Wayward Brings the Heat to Richland

Las Vegas-based Crashing Wayward has been building momentum nationally with a modern rock sound that combines heavy guitars, powerful vocals, and a live show built for maximum impact. Their latest music includes the killer track “Holding For Dear Life,” which gives you a pretty good idea of what’s coming to Ray’s.

Learn more about the band at Crashing Wayward’s official website.

Get to Know Special Guest Drop the Star

Joining them is Pacific Northwest rock band DROP the STAR, bringing a raw combination of hard rock and classic rock influences. If you haven’t heard them yet, take a listen to their current single, “Serial Thriller.”

See These Bands Up Close and Personal

And this is exactly the kind of show Ray’s Golden Lion was made for. Forget watching a band from the back of an arena — at Ray’s, you’re right there, just feet from the stage, experiencing the guitars, drums, and energy of two incredible rock bands in one of the Tri-Cities’ most legendary live music rooms.
