Singer Songwriter Ridge Banks, hailing from the quaint town of Fenton, Michigan, now calls Nashville, TN home.  Pioneering the 'Rugged Acoustic Movement', Ridge seamlessly blends the picking styles reminiscent of legends like Jim Croce and John Denver with the rhythmic flair of modern icons such as Ed Sheeran and Tommy Emmanuel. His innovative use of alternative tunings infuses his music with an authentic edge akin to the likes of Stephen Stills and Dave Matthews.

Drawing from a diverse palette of Blues, Rock, and Country influences, Ridge crafts uplifting melodies that resonate with authenticity and soul.

Having released his debut album in November 2018, Ridge made the leap to Nashville in 2019, where he currently collaborates with his original garage band, "Ridge Banks and the Wall of Sound." Expanding his musical horizons, Ridge recently joined forces with accomplished musicians across the pond, venturing into the UK music scene for his last 2 single releases with stars like Nick Plews and the unforgettable voice of Niki Evans, West End leading lady and 2017 Semifinalist on 'The X Factor'. With his uplifting melodies and infectious rhythms, Ridge Banks and the Wall of Sound continue to captivate audiences worldwide, touring in the UK summer of 2025.​​​​​
