About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

Born in Atlanta Georgia, he’s a jazz vocalist, gospel pianist, and actor, who has not only toured nationally and internationally — he says performed in every Ramada Inn in the country. He's also won an NAACP Image Award and portrayed a murderer in Murder She Wrote.
