The Turn is a guitar driven rock band that was founded by Brian Ripps and Patrick McDermott in August 2007.

In December 2008, they entered the studio to record their second EP "The December Sessions" and are currently playing out in support of that record. To date they have made nearly 350 appearances both as an acoustic duo and with the full band, and distributed close to 8000 copies of the two records.

In February 2009, the band rounded out their full lineup adding Chris DeRosa (www.chrisderosa.com) on drums and Brian Holtz on bass. The band currently has a residency at Arctica Bar & Grill in New York City every Sunday night.
