KILLINGTON—The lineup for the free Cooler in the Mountains summer concert series has been announced.

July 15, Ryan Montbleau
Ryan Montbleau has been an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and bandleader for more than a decade, but with his new album “I Was Just Leaving,” the New England-based artist has truly arrived.
July 22, Ripe
Ripe is a Funk/Pop band out of Boston, Mass. that was born as a result of its seven members uniting over one belief: with enough passion and honesty, music can still make the earth shake. With one eye looking back to the inception of both funk and psychedelic music, and the other looking forward with a modern concept of what makes people move, Ripe seeks both to honor musical history as well as to make it.
