Episode 298 - Ben Ripani

Embracing the classic yet contemporary sound of Americana in the tradition of artists like Ryan Adams and Wilco, a new voice is rising: Ben Ripani. Traveling the road that winds from the towering buildings of the metropolis to the rolling hills of the farmlands, Ben's songs tell stories of hope and love, of being lost and found; his music speaks of and to life's challenges and rewards. The journey would begin after college, having realized music was the only path for him, the Chicago native, self taught singer songwriter moved to San Diego and formed the rock band "Down With Leo".
