The power trio Road Warrior showed off their rock n' roll prowess playing a full

set of original songs at the Willoughby night club At Witz End on October 2, 2026. Ryan Prinkey, lead guitarist, singer-songwriter, shows a veteran presence with his strong vocals and screaming guitar solos. His lyrics are hard driving, very clever, and give a true mid-70's style of a rock n' roll show. The true luxury Ryan has is his rhythm section. Made up of drummer Bob "Bob A" Massina and bassist Emiliano "E" LeBron, this duo creates such a strong groove, Ryan can lean back, set the needle on the vinyl, and play in such comfort

he gets lost in the sauce. 

​

It's evident this trio has put in the practice time. The transition from song to song flows as smooth water over a stone. Just when you think rock n' rollers are becoming a dying breed, in comes Road Warriors to slap you in the face and say "Hey, This next song is called Rampage!!!" At Witz End is a great venue for any band to highlight the their talents and Road Warrior has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Road Warrior played 15 original songs and rumor has it that Ryan will be going into seclusion in his Ashtabula Bat Cave this winter to create even more high voltage, fist raising, anthems. Run, don't walk, to see this keg of dynamite called Road Warrior.
