RIDGE BANKS & THE WALL OF SOUND | Fri 29th Aug
All the way from Nashville, RIDGE BANKS & THE WALL OF SOUND will be playing The Common Room on Fri 29th Aug
Singer Songwriter Ridge Banks, hailing from the quaint town of Fenton, Michigan, now calls Nashville, TN home. Raised in a household pulsating with melodies, he found his voice and passion for performing at a tender age.
Pioneering his 'Rugged Acoustic' sound, Ridge seamlessly blends the picking styles reminiscent of legends like Jim Croce, John Denver, and Eric Clapton with the rhythmic flair of modern icons such as Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, and Tommy Emmanuel. His innovative use of alternative tunings infuses his music with an authentic edge akin to the likes of Stephen Stills, Joe Bonamassa, and Dave Matthews.
Drawing from a diverse palette of Blues, Rock, and Country influences, Ridge crafts uplifting compositions that resonate with authenticity and soul.
