They draw inspiration from 60’s and 70’s soul, funk, blues and rock—putting their own spin on classic sounds for a powerful musical experience. Gordon Sterling’s soulful voice, introspective lyrics, the band’s tight grooves, and improvisational jams captivate audiences and move their heart and soul. If you like artists such as Gary Clark Junior, Michael Kiwanuka, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Lettuce, and Galactic, then you don’t want to miss Gordon Sterling and The People!
Ripejive is a funk five-piece from Southwest, Virginia. Blending retro and modern sounds, they deliver original vocal-driven anthems and adventurous instrumentals with knee-deep grooves and heady jams. Pocket rhythms laced with Latin spice and pulsing bass are infused with incendiary guitar, soaring saxophone, and colorful keys to serve a sumptuous sound that always brings a party. Notable performances have included direct support for Ghost Note, Funk You, and Melvin Seals and JGB, and upcoming, they're returning to Floydfest this summer.
