Please Welcome Seth Ruppert

Vega Productions is proud to welcome Seth Ruppert to our team. Seth will be interning to help produce Rock the Boat II this summer on August 14th.

Here's a little diddy about Seth...

Seth Ruppert is enrolled at McNally Smith College of Music to earn an Associates in Music Business. He moved to the Twin Cities two years ago from Des Moines, Iowa, where he lived all his life. Music became part of Seth’s life at the age of 13. He started performing on the drums in bands when he was 15 with his sister and his twin brother. Music has been a big part of his life since then. Seth has played with many bands at a number of venues in the Des Moines area, and currently plays with a group around the Twin Cities. He has taken control of all the booking, advertising, and merchandising for these groups solely because this is what he enjoys doing. Organizing events and just being behind the scenes in the music industry is truly a passion of Seth’s right along with writing music and performing in bands.
