Ripley Presents is pleased to welcome back Hank Wonder – a dynamic trio of musicians who return to Ripley Chapel with their special blend of songcraft and music making.
From audience member, James Gerke, Ripley Chapel, 2020:
“When you combine such fine musicianship, great songwriting, and tight ensemble playing, you’re going to end up with a fresh, enjoyable sound. Hank Wonder = good music.”
Somewhere on the musical map, where the twang of Classic Country meets the grit of Southern Soul, Hank Wonder marks a detour down a sonic stretch of unpaved road. The Boston-based trio of Annie Bartlett (fiddle and viola), Darren Buck (vocals), and Michael Loria (guitar) first came together in 2013 and have since crafted their very own soulful blend of Americana: equal parts down home and gussied up.
In November 2016, recorded its debut album with producer and multi-instrumentalist Charlie Rose (Elephant Revival, Barnstar). “Little Mysteries” soon emerged as a strong set of 12 originals - tales of Downeast canoe rides, fables of reckless children, and odes to fine bourbon. Released in 2021 and with producer and multi-instrumentalist Zachariah Hickman (Josh Ritter, Ray LaMontagne. Mark Erelli, Barnstar!) at the helm, “Waylaid” features a stellar cast of guest musicians and vibrant harmonies.
And from Perry Persoff, WUMB (91.9FM) Monthly Newsletter:
“Put this album on and you will feel like you are loading up the camper van for a trip.
Maybe it will be to somewhere Hank Wonder is playing.”
Tickets are $20 (in-person or live stream):
