Times Change(d) High & Lonesome Club

Winnipeg’s favourite pub rock party band along with legendary folk-punk pioneer Eugene Ripper!

EUGENE RIPPERCanadian Punk Pioneer Trailblazing Fast Folk RockerAfter cutting his rock and roll teeth as a founding guitarist in first wave Canadian surf punkabilly rockers, Stark Naked &amp; The Fleshtones , Ripper launched into a solo career that continues to this day featuring a synthesis of punk, folk, roots and rock. From barbed fast' n' furious acoustic punk folk, rock n roll, sonic atmospherics, lyrical dark ballads and beat driven spoken word, Ripper wraps it all up in post modern stance and punk rock ethos. "Volleying between punk, folk and rock Ripper jumps all over each style, stealing from one and reshaping another until he comes upwith a unique sound and vibe all his own." Now Magazine (Toronto) "Since his time in '80s punk faves Stark Naked and The Fleshtones, Eugene Ripper has transformed himself into a top-notch alt-folk singer/songwriter. His Fast Folk Underground series has had residencies in NYC, Halifax and Vancouver. His rollicking, garage-rock influenced sound meshes significantly with thoughtful and poetically intense ballads." New Canadian Music "Toronto's underexposed gem Eugene Ripper has been honing his unique brand of fast-folk with a punk rock ethos since the early '90s. Don't miss a chance to be transported to his noir universe." Pop Montreal " Roots rock rebel summons up visions of film noir and spaghetti western and Johnny Cash " Halifax Herald " Eugene Ripper has firmly cemented a place for himself at the forefront of Canada's indie underground since kicking off his long-running career in the thick of '80s punk, an influence that has remained evident in Ripper's more recent folk work" Vue Weekly (Edmonton) "His neo acoustic tales of near death, trains, outlaws, love gone bad, and freedom merge with an acute case of intense live energy. Ripper arrives somewhere between John Prine and The Ramones."Mariposa Folk Festival "One of Canada's most respected yet underexposed songwriters." Toronto Star "Ripper puts spikes back in folk music." Vancouver Province "Few can turn a couple of chords into something majestic,Ripper has the gift."
