Ripple Æffect is a collaborative ensemble focused on creating an intimate, accessible, and emotionally complex new music experience. We celebrate the nuanced themes of life, telling stories through song. We seek to appreciate and expand the dense creative community across the west coast, creating a ripple effect of connection through music. The core members of Ripple Æffect include New York based saxophonist Aidan Siemann and vocalist Lola Miller, and Bay Area based drummer Josh Setala.Aidan, Lola, and Josh each grew up on the West Coast and have a deep love for the dense creative community there. Lola is a San Francisco native, she grew up in the rich and diverse bay area musical environment. Just up the coast, Aidan and Josh grew up in the greater Seattle area and attended high schools 17 miles apart, soaking in Seattle’s unparalleled early jazz education. Each member’s roots have deeply shaped their music and who they are today.
Our core trio first came together when we were students in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Roots, Jazz, and American Music program, experimenting with new music in a collaborative setting. As we have each grown into solo bandleaders, we have continued to value the sacred energy of collaborative music making. Coming together from across the country, we are excited to return to our roots and embark on a tour of Seattle and San Francisco in June of 2024.
