Joe Carson has been performing as a singer and guitarist in Boston for the past 7 years. He's played to packed rooms all over the city whether with his original music or with his cover show. Joe has performed and sat in with many local bands and musicians in many different scenes including Tom Groleau (Sweep the Leg/Mudhens/The Flutie Band), Stu Lee (Sweep The Leg), Never in Vegas, Jimmy's Down, Entrain as well as fronting headlining Tribute Bands for Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead, and Jeff Buckley. Joe has built a following as a solo acoustic performer whether delivering a high energy one man show or a soulful showcase for a listening crowd. Joe's draw sometimes seems to be his 4 octave vocal range and his ability to imitate almost all the singers he covers with an eerie accuracy.

Chuck Anastasiou came from the Berklee College of Music and discovered the solo guitar arrangements of John Fahey which sent him on a path to roots music. Chuck has written and performed his solo acoustic guitar compositions throughout New England as well as New York City and Austin, Texas. As an Electric player Chuck has performed with bands such as Sugarcoat, The Caroline Gould Project, The Dave Coffin Group, as well as with many Cover and Tribute bands in New England. Chuck has an amazing versatility and an ability to go from Blues to Country to Rock/Metal to Jazz to the guitar textures of Radiohead.

Andrew Dole was a student at Berklee College of Music when he discovered the original rock music scene in Boston and had several bands before hooking up with the Bon Savants who have become one of the biggest drawing local acts. Andrew also toured with Aaron Katz (Percy Hill) and more recently with Bang Camaro playing venues like the Tweeter Center with Modest Mouse and who also has songs in the Guitar Hero and Rock Band video games. Andrew has played many cover band shows over the past few years all over New England and New Hampshire between tours with his original projects.

Kevin O'Brien studied bass at the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles. After returning to Boston, he gigged all over the Northeast with Sugarcoat, an 8-piece horn band that was nominated for a Boston Music Award (best R&B/Funk Band Category). He then joined Cerulean City and moved to NY to tour and record with the instrumental trio. Kevin has played many cover and tribute shows over the years, so it only made sense to get him involved when Ripcord needed a bass player. He’s also a member of The Dave Coffin Group.
