Rip Masters


Main image

Rip Masters' music is American roots music. A blend of Country, Rock and Rockabilly that makes him the legitimate heir to such artists as Merle Haggard and Jerry Lee lewis. Rip's music is down-home and down-to-earth like he is, foot-stompin' and barn-burnin' stuff that forces you to recall what music is all about.

A virtuoso of boogie-woogie piano, Rip found his musical calling early in his love of country music and old Rock 'n' Roll records. He started out as a singer, but became so accomplished on the keys that he was in demand as a session player, playing on many of the Rollin' Rock label's rockabilly records. He also recorded his first album, Rock That Rock! for Rollin' Rock and continued to play live concerts. He toured the Far East, the West Coast, Texas and all over California, perfecting his performing skills.

Rip continued to explore his love of songwriting, and had several of his compositions covered by other artists, including Rockabilly Man, which became the theme song of Legend Ray Campi, and was recorded by England's Firebirds. This song has become a Rock 'n' Roll favorite and is known all over the world.
