How it all started…

World events of 2020 halted everything... And coincidentally brought together five unique musicians into a shuttered music store in Santa Cruz, CA in search of creative reprieve.  Uninhibited by the distractions of daily routine, something special coalesced during the pandemic - a collective renewed pursuit towards timeless rock’n’roll songwriting. Inspired by one another’s personal journeys, Alisha Ripatti, Dylan Rose, David DeSilvaJocelyn Olson, and Keith Wieland have formed a deep artistic friendship that manifests in each performance. The Ripatti Rose Band crafts songs for the vintage and modern alike, determined to make the most of the familial bond they share in music and in life.
