Did you know that Ripe's Robbie Wulfsohn and Sampson Hellerman share a birthday (Oct. 26)? Ripe is a truly fun band live - imagine if Jason Mraz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lionel Richie and Bruno Mars formed an awesome house party band. I was lucky to see them play one of two sold out shows at Webster Hall in February 2020, where they played a bunch of unique covers.

Check out this clip of them covering Adele's "Hello" (which was released as a single 11 years ago on Oct. 23). And stay tuned for more things to come from this space, including stories from concerts like this!
