Quote from The Boot & Shoe

"RISE are impossible to categorize since they are, quite frankly, unique. Very often compared to Simply Red in looks and vocals, and there are similarities, but RISE are so much more. Highly original, their songs blend funk, soul, jazz and pop into highly listenable creations, superbly performed. You have to see them to appreciate the sheer class.." As those who were so impressed by Russ Smith`s debut last month will realise, sometimes it`s very hard to put over in a few words just how good a performer is..you just have to see them live to appreciate them. Rise are another band you`ll just have to trust us on.... Don`t miss it!!
