“It’s like I’ve had a band every decade of my life, pretty much. I’m going to run out of time. Sometimes I think it’s the greatest thing in the world, you know. Other times I think ‘What am I doing to myself?’ ”

“You’ve put all this time and energy, your life working on this thing and...then down the road the stuff you get back can be pretty amazing. You get that call and they’re like “Hey, do you want to come play Red Rocks?” and you’re like that’s why, that’s why you do it, you know...You just played with these amazing bands you love, that’s why you do it.”

Behind The Scene Episode 57 - Anthony Ruptak (Singer-Songwriter)

“So, I’m very grateful to have this outlet as well because it is a true sense of like I’m doing something important. Music is still selfish, it’s a selfish endeavor at the end of the day. I do it for my mental health and because I love performing and I love writing. It feels great to have something to actually tangibly help people with as well.”
