Rose City Band share new single “Mariposa”
New album Garden Party is out April 21st
Rose City Band touring the UK and Europe this spring and summer
Ahead of the release of resplendent new album Garden Party, out later this week, April 21st, Rose City Band share expansive new single “Mariposa”.
The track’s opening delivers a late 1970’s ballad vibe that is irresistible with its electric piano melodies, intimate vocals and flute highlights. The expansive song kicks off when guitarist/vocalist Ripley Johnson’s freewheeling melodic guitar lines take the lead propelled by gentle strums and shimmering organs.
The song was written to play live. Says Johnson, “It’s just really fun to improvise over.” That joy is evident in the single’s expansive guitar lines and shifting pace, a thrilling journey that one can easily imagine only getting deeper in the room with each musician drawing upon each other’s energy.
The soulful and sublime new single will move you, alter your vision and set you on a higher path. The intoxicating atmosphere absolutely consumes the audience, the mood elevated, and intricate and the energy simply dazzles. This new album is set for greatness, a record designed and destined to be one that embraces this timeless nature. Each track shared from the upcoming release captures the sincere magic of Rose City Band. The ability to create these consuming and complex compositions, oozing character, charm, and this precise affectionate air.
Rose City Band will be taking that exhilarating spirit on the road this spring through the U.S., U.K. and Europe.Rose City Band’s country psychedelic songs are written by acclaimed guitarist and vocalist Ripley Johnson. Rose City Band has extended beyond the studio and lives in tandem as a live ensemble featuring some of the finest players in contemporary rock: pedal steel guitarist Barry Walker, keyboardist Paul Hasenberg, bassist Dewey Mahood (aka Plankton Wat) and drummer Dustin Dybvig.
