Get set to lose your mind in the psychedelic cosmic cowboy sounds of first-time visitors ROSE CITY BAND, led by Portland, Oregon musical leader Ripley Johnson (see also Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo). 

 

Rose City Band’s country psychedelic rock evokes the wide-open spaces of the American west and free spirits who call it home. The band has extended beyond the studio and lives in tandem as a live ensemble featuring some of the finest players in contemporary rock.

 

Their latest album Garden Party is a celebration of summer and all it brings: communal gatherings, the respites offered by nature, and an appreciation for even the simplest beauty, from 12-foot sunflowers to a contorted carrot planted in the spring.

 

Freedom, contentment, and joy were the sources for the songs. From the soaring guitar solos to the driving rhythms, the elegant pedal steel lines to the organ grooves, Garden Party and the band’s entire catalogue, has a live band’s energy captured in exquisite detail.
