Rose City Band

Psychedelic country jam band Rose City Band is the project of Wooden Shjips/Moon Duo guitarist/vocalist Ripley Johnson. He worked with indie giant Thrill Jockey to reissue the band's 2019 self-titled debut after a self-released pressing quickly sold out. From there, Johnson's unassuming recording project grew into a prolific and evolving band, touring and frequently issuing increasingly rich-sounding albums like 2021's naturalistic Earth Trip and 2023's summery and live-sounding Garden Party. The band's fifth album, Sol Y Sombra, arrived in 2025, further refining their cosmic country sound.
