It’s only Rock ‘n’ Roll but I like it… Ronnie Wood is celebrating 50 years with the Rolling Stones this year, and I, too, can celebrate a musical half-century anniversary in 2025…     Under the motto “Bending Strings Since 1975” I’m celebrating my 50th anniversary as a guitarist.

Anybody want Rock ‘n’ Roll? Drink up & party down!

Local Press/Feature:

Half a century of guitar artistry!

Tom Riepl celebrates his anniversary this year – and looks back on the last 50 years.
