The Ridge

The Ridge is a dynamic five-piece band defined by rich harmonies, powerful musicianship, and soulful grooves.

Troy James brings a soulful touch to both guitar and vocals, locking in effortlessly with Mike Pepper, whose powerful voice speaks volumes. The two grew up singing together, spending hours chasing the kind of harmonies Lennon and McCartney made look easy. Over time, those late-night practices and playful experiments turned into something real—James and Pepper now share a blend so natural, so dialed-in, it’s unmistakably theirs.

On bass, Dan Adams anchors the band with exceptional skill and tone. His tight musical chemistry with drummer Max Tretter forms a rhythm section that stands out for its precision, creativity, and unmistakable groove. Max, a jack-of-all-trades and endlessly inventive drummer, drives the band’s heartbeat with style.

Rounding out the lineup is Gage Dunn, an inspired keyboardist whose textures, melodies, and atmosphere elevate The Ridge’s sound to new heights. His arrival brought a spark reminiscent of when Billy Preston stepped in with the Beatles during the Let It Be sessions—suddenly everything just clicked.

Together, The Ridge crafts a musical experience built on talent, harmony, and a shared passion for creating something truly special.
