The ambitious and talented octet came together as students at Berklee School of Music where several members studied jazz. It was on a “Why the hell not” basis that they decided to focus on becoming a kick ass rock band and run with it to the extreme. Centered around the energetic front man and lead vocalists Robbie Wolfsohn, RIPE offers a complete spectrum of sound and energy while giving it their all every night. The sound and energy is created by an arsenal of talented musicians. With ambitious guitarists Tory Geismer and Jon Becker, Nadav Shapira holding down the low end on bass, Sampson Hellerman on drums, and the energetic horn section consisting of Calvin Barthel on trombone and Josh Shpak on trumpet/EWI, RIPE sets the tone for a full speed musical romp.  

Note: park on side streets if not a Rowayton resident.
