Vancouver, British Columbia

A record label for the long road

Ripchord Records is an independent home for country-blues, roots music, and records that earn their wear.

The label

Built close to the source

Ripchord Records grew from a belief that the best records carry a place with them: wet pavement after a Vancouver rain, an amplifier humming in a rehearsal room, the quiet between a final take and playback.

We work with artists whose songs are grounded in craft, character, and the hard-won feeling that keeps a record spinning long after the needle drops.
