RIPLEY's sound and voice has a decidedly 21st century ring, a modern-age audiophile dinner bell tolling for those dusty lovers who are looking to lap it up classic style but with a straight finish.
Songwriter/guitarist/lead singer Alice Ripley received the 2009 Tony award and the 2009 Helen Hayes award for her portrayal of Diana Goodman in the broadway musical sensation NEXT TO NORMAL. She also received Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her cult-devoured performance in the short lived broadway hit SIDE SHOW.
In 2001, Sh-K-Boom records released her critically acclaimed "Everything's Fine" - a mix of pop,folk and jazz that showcased haunting lyrics in a song cycle of soft-core suburban hell.
With the newly sharpened edge of RIPLEY's latest offering, "Outtasite", the music rocks harder and cuts the figure of an attention-getter with a killer voice.
Rock solid drummer Shannon Ford has performed, recorded and toured with a starry list of artists, including Paul Simon, Danny Gatton and Phoebe Snow.
Christopher Schelling is a new wave throwback whose keyboard styles range from "car alarm" to the ever-popular "Chopsticks".
RIPLEY. IT'S THE WHOLESOME SNACK HUNGRY EARS CRAVE.

So great to hear from you, AR...this AR and my little AR are so happy for you we can't even express it! I know your schedule will be incredible but perhaps come on up for some sun and fun in The Vineyard this summer? We send all our love, and can't wait to get together, sans gigs!! Love, AR
Hey, I've got a new acoustic demo up of my song "Snapshot Chronicles" up now. Feel free to listen, comment, and if you like it tell your friends. If not, that's cool too.
