Ripplewood Winter Tour: Electric Energy, Primal Spirit

Music lovers, mark your calendars — Ripplewood is bringing their unmistakable blend of roots, rhythm, and improvisation to three standout Pennsylvania venues this winter and early spring. Known for channeling the electric, primal energy of the early Grateful Dead while shaping a sound all their own, Ripplewood’s live shows are a feast of groove, melody, and fearless interplay.
