"He sounded great...like a mix between Ray LaMontagne and someone else I can't quite put my finger on. He was excellent..." - Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave)

This story begins in the suburbs of Chicago, when a 15-yr old Andrew Ripp picked up the guitar and found his voice. Four years later, he packed his bags for Los Angeles and with nothing but all-natural musical ability, started his adventure as a self-made singer/songwriter. With hard work and a talent that is instantly recognizable, Ripp has managed to become one of the most inspiring and exciting young musicians to watch out for. And when he isn't in the studio or on the road, Ripp shares his passion for helping others at Art of Elysium, a charity that gives artists the ability to brighten the lives of hospitalized children by sharing their gifts.

Andrew is thrilled to finally share his journey with the world through the release of his first independent, full-length album Fifty Miles to Chicago. Co-produced by Dan Lavery (Tonic) and Ripp's good friend and songwriting partner Randy Coleman. "It's a miracle the album is finished at all" said Ripp, describing the struggle of financing such a project. "There were times I had two dollars in my bank account and wondered how in the world I was going to get through the next step of the recording process- let alone make it through another day. I couldn't have done this without my family and friends who have shown huge faith in me as a person and as an artist."
