JOHN “MARMADUKE” DAWSON (1945-2009)
" John passed away peacefully on July 21, 2009 at the age of 64 in Mexico, where he had retired several years ago. It is with great sadness that we relay this news, and extend our deepest condolences to his family and all his many fans out there.
His songs inspired us in so many ways. His energy, passion and commitment to the New Riders brought us all so much joy over the years. We can all be thankful that his music and legacy will live on forever."
I had the honor of opening for the New Riders and hanging out with John. He WAS a big inspiration and will be missed.
