Rose City Band is celebrated guitarist Ripley Johnson. A prolific songwriter, Johnson started Rose City Band as an outlet nimble enough to match the pace of his writing as well as to explore songwriting styles apart from Wooden Shjips and Moon Duo. We've been caught in their cosmic country web since 2019's S/T album which sounded like it was made to mellow out those heady motorik psych expansions of Johnson's other groups while keeping things trippy and groovy! Last years 'Summerlong' was one of my favourite albums of last year and has been on the turntable through the fall, winter and spring! It really makes up for our rubbish Scottish weather!
