It’s Monday and who wants to work on a Monday?? Go ahead and just open up a blank Excel spreadsheet OR download this amazingness (srsly, it’s AMAZEBALLS) to make it look like you are busy and then tune in to some new music, aka one Mr. Andrew Ripp. PS– I may or may not have picked this pic because he’s at Stubb’s– HOLLA Austin! Anyhoo, here’s a bit about Andrew:
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Andrew began this musical journey with simply a voice, a guitar, and an awkward fifteen-year-old view of the world. As he grew and matured, so did his music. Moving out to Los Angeles in 2003, doors soon opened for Ripp to record and work with rock producer Bob Marlette and write for pop star Ryan Cabrera.
Ripp’s debut album Fifty Miles to Chicago, which he co-wrote and co-produced, released in 2008 to many-a-round of applause. Compared to the likes of Ray Lamontagne, Maroon 5, and Jason Mraz, Andrew toured the country, performing songs from this album, and won fans quickly with his pure tones, strong lyrics, and that other thing that we have yet to define but definitely contributes to his awesome.
Up first for your listening/viewing enjoyment, an acoustic version of Andrew’s first single, “Savior”.
Annnddd…..I die.
Can’t watch YouTube videos? Well, here’s a FREE mp3 of Savior off of Andrew’s album, She Remains the Same, that was just released this past September.
