Celebrating The Music Of Jerry Riopelle

“Find me a crowd where the band is loud,  and my drunken ballet is in fashion…“

Please join us for another magical evening celebrating the music of our friend and valley music legend, JERRY RIOPELLE at the Talking Stick Resort Showroom on Friday, May 6, 2022.  The show will feature as many Riopelle songs as we can fit into one show, featuring the Jerry Riopelle band (David Plenn, Llory McDonald, Paul Riopelle, Tara Austin, David Goodstein and John Harris) and some very special guests, including Chris Price, Jesse Valenzuela of Gin Blossoms, Walt Richardson, Ray Herndon, Michael Nitro, Mark Zubia, Chuck E. Baby, The Motion and more!

Since the band and friends last celebrated Jerry’s music at Talking Stick in 2020 they have been chomping at the bit to do it again and keep the Riopelle legacy and music alive for all of us. If you were there last time, you’re well aware of the love, laughs, tears and of course timeless Riopelle music that took over our senses for one truly unforgettable evening!

“If I could, I would build an Arizona musical Mount Rushmore. The monument would have Marty Robbins and Alice Cooper as bookends. Inside would be Linda Ronstadt and Stevie Nicks. Front and center, though, would be Jerry Riopelle”… (Dan Engler – Verde Independent 2018)

That sentiment, along with the ubiquitous “Soundtrack of my youth” “Arizona’s favorite adopted son” “Arizona music legend” are firm evidence of the grip and lasting impact Jerry Riopelle has had on Arizona music and pop culture through the years.
