"He sounded great...like a mix between Ray LaMontagne and someone else I can't quite put my finger on. He was excellent..." - Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave)

This story begins in the suburbs of Chicago, when a 15-yr old Andrew Ripp picked up the guitar and found his voice. Four years later, he packed his bags for Los Angeles and with nothing but all-natural musical ability, he started on his adventure as a self-made singer/songwriter. He has since penned a Top 40 Billboard hit and shared the stage with celebrated artists such as Ben Harper, Jon Foreman (Switchfoot), and B-Real (Cypress Hill).

With hard work and a talent that is instantly recognizable as his tools, Ripp has managed to become one of the most inspiring and exciting young musicians to watch out for. His much anticipated debut album is set to drop early 2008. Independently produced by Dan Lavery (Tonic and The Fray) and Randy Coleman, the album features collaborations from drummer Pete Maloney (Dishwalla, Tonic), keyboard player Will Hollis (Eagles), and Eric Haywood (Ray Lamontagne) on steel guitar. A long time coming, this album contains Ripp's heart and soul, captures his contagious energy and is bound to amaze fans and attract many, many more.
