In the words of an industry professional: "You don't know what to do first at a R.i.p.e. show, look at the 3 beauties, listen to the awesome musicians, or get absorbed in the lush vocal harmonies. R.i.p.e.'s sound tapestry derives from sources as diverse as Santana, Dido, Albeniz, Elton John, and Paula Cole.We built R.i.p.e. to explore songwriting, but as we began to play out more and more, things solidified and we became a true band. We've been together since November 2001, and its the best 5 years of my life, says singer Christa McNamee. The eight-piece band consists of three vocalists, Christa McNamee, Leia Thompson and Jessica Grant, keyboardist/band leader Dan Bar Hava, guitarist Seth Himmelhoch, bassist Vinnie Raniolo, percussionist Simon Miller and drummer Rich Zukor.R.i.p.e. provides pure vocal and musical fun, catchy hooks and real substance. Live show highlights include: a haunting 3-part a capella ballad, a driving world/fusion instrumental, and a lush pop/tribal love song with a classical quote worthy of a Carnegie Hall performance.The band is sponsored by MIA Cosmetics and was featured entertainment at the Miss Latina USA Pageant in North Carolina in fall 04. They are also the proud recipient of an Honorable Mention in the 12th Annual Billboard World Song Contest. Credits include headlining the NCAA Sweet Sixteen 2002 games in Syracuse, a live appearance on CBS regional TV, singing the National Anthem for the Brooklyn Cyclones opening game and 4th of July weekend game at Key Span Park, six .1 hits on MP3.com top 40 charts, guest-starring at the Bergen County Teen Talent Finals, a televised showcase on LT1 TV, national and international airplay and numerous airing of our music video, "Don't Go Back" on several TV stations. Stage credits include Makor, Arlene Grocery, Continental, Elbow Room, Downtown (Long Island, NY), The Regent Theatre (Boston), as well as college shows at NJIT, Rutgers/Newark and more."This is real music with excellent vocalists backed by real musicians" (Music Morsels)."Ripe is a band with drive and a sexy feel" (Bill Carrera)."[...] with a timeless sound like this, [Ripe] will certainly be making music for years to come" (FM Sound)."[...] [They] put on an amazing live show" (Stony Brook Press).This band delivers a lush vocal and sound quality redolent of influences like Santana and Jethro Tull" (Mighty Aphrodite/NY Waste).Contact R.i.p.e. at: Tom Feeley, Mgr at (732) 290-0014 ([email protected])
