Colorado singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Anthony Ruptak returns with Tourist, a sweeping, soul-baring album that peers into the heart of modern uncertainty with passion and precision. These ten indie-folk songs mingle fragility with force, and cinematic arrangements with raw, lyrical honesty—delivered by unique, heartfelt vocals.

In almost an hour of music we undergo a powerful emotional and philosophical journey through crisis, compassion, and connection. Written between wilderness trails, city streets, and ambulance shifts—the artist worked late-night shifts as a paramedic—it explores what it means to stay human in an age of chaos. The repeated question hits hard: “Is this real life?”

Tourist—produced by Rich G—is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP. Featuring Anthony Ruptak (vocals, guitar, keys), Matt Tanner (drums, percussion), Daniel Stephenson (bass), Caleb Tardio (electric guitar, keys), Jakey Wherry (synths, keys, guitar), Katy Wherry (flutes), Joe Engel (cello), Eric Estrada (trumpet), and Jacob Russo (backing vocals).
