What does it mean to be a rider? A 250th celebration of America with "I Ride"

“I Ride” is a defiant, soul-stirring anthem that reaches back to the very heartbeat of America’s birth. As the United States approaches 250 years as a united nation, this song honors the courage and urgency of the midnight ride of April 18, 1775 - when Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott risked everything to warn the colonies that the British were coming.

More than a historical retelling, “I Ride” channels the fire, grit and resolve of those riders who carried freedom through the dark on horseback, fueled by conviction rather than certainty. Paul Revere’s call to action, William Dawes’ unwavering commitment and Samuel Prescott’s lone completion of the journey to Concord stand as symbols of unity, sacrifice and shared purpose.

At its core, “I Ride” is both a tribute and a wake-up call - a reminder of the spirit that forged a country and a question posed to the present moment: have we forgotten what it truly took to be free? With driving energy and emotional weight, the song calls listeners to remember, reclaim and ride again for the ideals of courage, vigilance, respect, honor and freedom.
