Jimmy Rip has been called many things throughout his extraordinary life in music... guitarist, singer/songwriter, film and television composer, musical director, arranger, producer and solo artist.      Mick Jagger, Jerry Lee Lewis, Television, Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart, Hall and Oates, Deborah Harry, Jack Bruce, Mariah Carrey and Yoko Ono are just a few of the legends that Rip has shared his many talents with.  In 2009 Jimmy relocated to Buenos Aires, Argentina, a place he feels has a passion for guitar based rock and blues that matches his own…and it seems the country agrees with him! Since moving there he has performed with the countries biggest acts on its largest stages and has produced 14 records, many of them gold and platinum sellers! Jimmy’s solo career has not slowed down since moving to South America. In 2009 he formed the blues rock power trio, “Jimmy Rip & The Trip” with Argentinian musicians Luli Bass on bass and Silvana Colagiovanni on drums. They released “Jimmy Rip & The Trip” in 2012 and “Blues Life” in 2016… and in 2020 they celebrated the release of their latest, Muy Crudo (Very Raw) a disc of joy, pain and raw emotions. The first single, Way Down in Mississippi, features a red hot guest vocal from Stacy Michelle (Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd) and an exciting accompanying video directed by Rip. The Trip's brand of blues rock continues to excite audiences at South America’s biggest venues and festivals… dig it ...
