Hard, loud and sometimes nasty, RACE ODYSSEY brings back to the stage a hard-hitting, below-the-belt powerhouse show. With influences from the 60's to modern-day rock, this band promises to deliver...
RACE ODYSSEY features an incredible, signature dual-guitar attack, "church-sound-across-asphalt" keyboards, smooth bass licks and thundering drum attacks to reel your senses. There's only one experience to be had at a RACE ODYSSEY show...a no holds barred, two-fisted attitude and then back for more.
Are YOU experienced?
RACE ODYSSEY UPDATES
July 8, 2008
RACE ODYSSEY extends our wishes and condolences to the family of music promoter Jim McGinnis who passed away this past weekend. Jim was a member of the ZEBRA family circle and a familiar face to ZEBRA fans in the New Orleans and New York music scenes.
Jim promoted and helped countless bands and musicians in his lifetime. He will be missed.

RACE ODYSSEY took their powerhouse show once again before a frenzied crowd opening for rock icon Randy Bachman (Bachman Turner Overdrive/Guess Who) at New York’s B.B. King Blues Bar. Their opening set was as follows:
"Something To Find" (an upcoming single on the full-length CD)
"Why Can't It Be Me" / "Jane Says" (Jane’s Addiction)
"On Our Way"
"Never In My Life" (Mountain)
"Season Of The Witch" (Donovan)
“Cold Gin” (KISS)
The theatrics included vocalist/guitarist Chris Wider trading licks with guitarist Johnny Race (playing each other’s guitar necks!) and the welcomed bravado of Johnny Race’s “guitar-in-the-air, around-the-back and in your face” style, fronting a sonic assault that included Jennifer Bialy’s vocals on “Jane Says” and Johnny Heeden on drum duties. This hard-working band left the crowd ready for more.
Once again, RACE ODYSSEY thanks the support of their fans and the fans of Randy Bachman for coming out to help make the show a success!
