Artist History Todd & Jeremy were playing with another guitarist when Todd met Steve @ Dunkin Donuts. That was 6 years ago. The three began gigging and writing songs as Mere Mortals. Another Mere Mortals from Nebraska or Kansas or somewhere threatened to kick their ass in court if they kept using the name... So they did anyway until the band took a break when Steve went back to Berklee and Todd became a Dad... Now they return as Freerider, inspired by the character in the title track "No Ride Denied" from the forthcoming CD on their own Enduro Music label.
