Every so often an artist appears who radiates a timeless quality and inexhaustable energy that reminds us of what listening to music is all about. For years now, Rob Ryan has exhilarated audiences with his brand of up-tempo, hard driving honky-tonk, leaving his fans electrified and making converts of anyone within earshot.
Rob Ryan's original hard country songs contain the down-to-earth truthfulness and skillfully crafted hooks that leave a tune branded in our minds ("straight ahead infectious country" College Music Journal). His resonant baritone voice can stretch from a yodel to a growl and has a dynamic timbre reminiscent of the great country voices who have preceeded him ("After hearing him sing, I knew he was a dedicated follower of root American forms" NY Daily News).
Rob has seen great sucess in a short period of time, sharing the bill with such acts as JERRY JEFF WALKER, WAYNE HANCOCK, CHARLIE DANIELS, MANDY BARNETT, THE CARDIGANS, VAN MORRISON and BLUR to name a few.
The next wave of Country Music is here and Rob Ryan is at the fore of this burgeoning scene ("When I close my eyes it sounds like Hank Williams, when I open them, a figure standing Presleyesque is in front of me" Antimatters magazine).
Discover what regular fans all know-- a show by Rob Ryan is not to be missed.
