Rose City Band

Rose City Band is the country psychedelic rock project of guitarist and vocalist Ripley Johnson, also known for his work with Wooden Shjips and Moon Duo. Formed in Portland, Oregon, the group pairs sun-kissed, timeless country rock with an explorative, jam-minded spirit rooted in Johnson's love of private-press records from the mid-to-late 1970s. The live ensemble features pedal steel guitarist Barry Walker, keyboardist Paul Hasenberg and drummer John Jeffrey. Their albums include Summerlong, Earth Trip, Garden Party and Sol Y Sombra, released via Thrill Jockey.
