Rose City Band - Garden Party
Released 21st April 2023
On ‘Garden Party’, Rose City Band’s country psychedelic rock evokes the wide open spaces of the American west and free spirits who call it home.
Led by acclaimed guitarist and vocalist Ripley Johnson, Rose City Band are some of the best players in contemporary rock: pedal steel guitarist Barry Walker, keyboardist Paul Hasenberg, bassist Dewey Mahood (aka Plankton Wat), drummer Dustin Dybvig, and featuring Sanae Yamada on synthesizer.
‘Garden Party’ is both a celebration of summer and all it brings: friends gathering at backyard BBQs, cold beers on a hot porch, 12-foot sunflowers, and an exaltation of the value and respite of a moment of calm; the pleasures of time in the garden to appreciate the beauty of a contorted carrot, or a morning on a stoop watching a hummingbird.
Freedom, contentment, and joy were the sources for the songs; they certainly bring the listener right there. From the soaring guitar solos to the driving rhythms, the elegant pedal steel lines to the organ grooves, ‘Garden Party’ has a live band’s energy captured in exquisite detail. ‘Garden Party’ is an invitation, a welcoming hand extended, and a joyous ride.
Like all great music, the album taps into the listener’s emotional centre and takes them to their happy place. Recorded at Center for Sound, Light, and Color Therapy in Portland and mixed by John McEntire, the band’s sounds surround and embrace you.
‘Garden Party’’s last two tracks feature special guest Sanae Yamada (Moon Duo), who added some synth magic to the final two tracks. Ripley says it best, “I always like when an album starts in one place and ends in another.” What a beautiful journey it is.

Expected Release 14th February 2025 The Delines fourth record, came from a night in Dublin, Ireland, when singer Amy Boone asked Willy Vlautin to write a romantic tune. It’s the story of two ragged misfits: a failed criminal and a depressive house cleaner who somehow hit the lottery in meeting each other. With that song the soul of the record was found: ragged couples on the run. Recording began at Bocce Studios with longtime collaborator John Morgan Askew. The record features Amy Boone’s lus...
