Andrew Jay Ripley is a firm believer that quality live music should be a daily part of life in Savannah. As principal oboist of the Savannah Philharmonic, Andrew received his formal training at The Juilliard School and Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. The fifth child of two bagpipers, Andrew grew up on a sheep farm in rural Minnesota, and in addition to being a classically trained musician, he is also a classically trained bartender, stirring and shaking up cocktails at his bar the Lone Wolf Lounge, and his restaurant Sea Wolf Tybee.
