\"Ripe<\/span><\/p>\n

Update\/Correction December 2, 2017 at 4PM:  <\/strong>Ripe has headlining all the performances during their Fall Tour aside from their appearance at Rams Head Live.  They have been supported by Late Night Episode<\/strong>, Okey Dokey<\/strong>, and Juice<\/strong>.  We apologize for the mistake.<\/p>\n

In October, the Boston-based funk band Ripe<\/strong> launched an 18 stop fall tour that runs through the middle of December along the Eastern Seaboard.   The band features seven  talented musicians who met and formed while attending Berklee College of Music<\/a> in Boston. The band includes Robbie Wulfsohn<\/strong> (vocals), Tory Geismar<\/strong> (guitar), Jon Becker<\/strong> (guitar), Sampson Hellerman<\/strong> (drums),  Josh Shpak<\/strong> (trumpet & EWI), Calvin Barthel<\/strong> (trombone), and Nadav Shapira<\/strong> (bass).<\/p>\n

On Saturday, November 25th, they opened for Pigeons Playing Ping Pong <\/strong>at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD. Ripe proved to be the perfect band to open the bill, as their upbeat and energetic funky sound perfectly complimented Pigeons Playing Ping Pong.  This performance marked Pigeons’ triumphant sell-out return to their native Baltimore. The venue was crowded early as fans eagerly awaited the return of their hometown heroes. This was auspicious for Ripe as they were able to perform to a capacity crowd and properly introduced themselves to a large audience. Ripe’s performance was very tight \u2013 all band members played seamlessly and appeared in touch with one another. Those in attendance could feel this infectious energy on stage as it transferred to a very welcoming new fanbase. Ripe’s songs lent themselves to festive and funky dancing for all concert goers. Later in the evening, singer Robbie Wulfoshn was called to sit in with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong during their second set performance of “Hold On I\u2019m Coming”.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Ripe continues their tour where they will headline several much celebrated venues, including the <\/strong>Higher Ground Showcas<\/strong>e<\/a> in Burlington, VT and  <\/strong>the <\/strong>Putnam Den<\/strong><\/a> in Saratoga Springs, NY, before ending their tour at one of the East Coast’s legendary and historic music venues, the Capitol Theatre<\/strong><\/a> in Port Chester, NY.<\/p>\n

Based on Ripe’s success at Rams Head Live, and the trajectory of their current tour, DC Music Review expects to see them return to this area again soon.<\/p>\n
