Ridge Banks

Ridge Banks is an emerging artist in the Americana music scene, known for his heartfelt storytelling and a unique blend of folk, rock, and country influences. With his gravelly voice and introspective lyricism, Banks has quickly captured the attention of audiences seeking authenticity and emotional resonance in their music. His recent release, "Stare Too Long," showcases his skill at crafting melodies that are at once haunting and comforting, while "Half a Mile from Normal" plays off a feeling of longing for something just out of reach, an anthem for the wanderers and dreamers.

"Beautiful Mistake" and "Speeding Train" further exhibit Ridge Banks' ability to navigate the complexities of human emotion, wrapping tales of love, regret, and redemption in masterfully composed musical arrangements. The "Greenscotch Sessions" is a nod to his collaborative spirit, offering a raw, stripped-down sound that is both engaging and introspective. Banks' reflective nature continues with "Long Way Home," a track that feels like a meandering journey through past and present. His storytelling reaches a poignant depth in "Prisoner 18152," where he delves into themes of freedom, confinement, and the human spirit. Together, these releases underscore Ridge Banks' place as a compelling voice in the modern Americana landscape.
