IL – Record label Sweet Pickle Music is proud
to announce the official release dates for “Lover”
the new CD by Chicago alternative rocker Ripley

North By Northeast Festival earlier this year, and
bragging rights to the “Producer’s Choice
Award” at last year’s Access 2 Amsterdam
music festival. The upcoming release of “Lover”
follows Ripley’s sharp debut EP, “Corvair.”

Caine has just as much talent (if not more) as any
successful performer in her genre and "Hey

has a knack for crafting a nice melody, and she
