Ryan Garney: Why Ripple Fest Texas is the Ultimate Stoner Rock Family Reunion #ripplefest

Ripple Fest Texas founder Ryan Garney explains why his festival is the "family reunion you actually want to attend" and breaks down his affordable ticketing model. In this exclusive clip from The Sonic Road Podcast, Ryan discusses the growth of the festival, his commitment to keeping prices fair for fans, and how the tiered pricing system works as the lineup is revealed. We explore Ryan's philosophy on booking—promising fans they will be "wowed" by underground bands they’ve never heard of—and his mission to protect the independent scene from corporate "mega-fest" models. Ryan also teases the excitement surrounding Ripple Fest 2026 and the importance of grabbing tickets early before tiers sell out. This is a must-watch for stoner rock fans and anyone interested in the logistics of independent festival promotion.
