Funk and alt-pop band Ripe from Boston, MA, performs live at Paper Tiger.
Ripe are playing Paper Tiger on Friday, November 27, 2026. The Boston-born band brings their mix of funk and alt-pop to San Antonio, blending R&B grooves with danceable rock. They're known for high-energy live shows, and this is a headline date with Ripe as the sole act on the bill.
The band formed at Berklee College of Music, and their discography has grown steadily over the last few years. They put out Joy in the Wild Unknown in 2018, followed by Bright Blues in 2023, and their most recent record, Play the Game, arrived in 2025. Among their most recognized songs are "First Time Feeling" and "Settling," both of which lean into the funk-pop sound they've built around.
With three albums to pull from, the set should draw from across their catalog. Play the Game is their newest material, and Bright Blues is only a few years old, so the newer stuff will likely sit alongside the earlier songs from Joy in the Wild Unknown. Between the R&B influence and the rock edge, it's the kind of show that works as much for dancing as it does for listening.
