Artist Bio

Andrew Ripp returns to his fans with Evergreen – the anticipated full length album set to follow up The Heart & The Soul.  
 
Based in Nashville, TN, Ripp creates music that pushes the boundaries of genre stereotypes, blending the energetic beats of pop music with a tinge of soul – all underlined by his personal journey of faith. He co-wrote the Grammy-nominated song, “Rescue Story” for artist Zach Williams & also penned the latest Cory Asbury single “Sparrows”. As a touring artist, Ripp has opened for Sara Bareilles, Andy Grammer, Jon Foreman, and Plain White T’s, among others. He has performed on TV shows including ABC’s Bachelor in Paradise and Entertainment Tonight and his songs have been featured on American Idol, House of Lies, One Tree Hill, Live to Dance and Vampire Diaries.  
 
Ripp celebrated his 12-year sober anniversary this past January and the arrival of his daughter in November 2018. 
 
“When you let everything go, you can start being real. I didn’t want to water down the songs to be more ‘commercial’. I aim to write the most honest music I can – and yes, my faith is a part of my story I refuse to keep in the shadows just to make sure my music is more ‘accessible’. In today’s world, songs of love, overcoming adversity & redemption are songs that we all need to hear.”

What They’re Saying

“I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit move each day. It was as if those at Hills Alive had a new
sense of how important it is for us to have times together with brothers and sisters in Christ.
We (the church worldwide) missed that during the covid year.”

“I must say that Gods hand was truly on all the volunteers.to set that stage with so few was truly Gods hand at work. I would like to say thank you to all that donated so much of there time. So much goes into this it is only through the love of Christ that it is even possible. LOVE YOU
ALL, YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST”
