New single!

Check this out! 📀 SINGLE PREMIERE: “Come On, Let’s Ride” from Early Times & the High Rollers upcoming album THE CORNER!
📀🎧LISTEN and get it today! https://ffm.to/earlytimescorner

Early Times is a Blues Rock street poet, living in a gritty urban landscape spanning New York’s East Side street corners, bodegas, and the project park. Early and his High Rollers create moods so thick you could cut them with a chainsaw, and his incisive guitar playing is always spot on.
The single, “Come On, Let’s Ride” is a swinging rocker with a strong guitar riff propelling things along.
