  • Bio

    .. “Joey Ryan is that rarest of artists ... his music displays wit and wisdom, and a fundamental generosity of spirit.” ~ Tony Berg .... ..................Permanent (w/ Z Berg) - Sign up for free download........Joey Ryan.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download..   ..Share........ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... Joey Ryan had just graduated from Berkeley and was poised to attend graduate school to study neuroscience when he abruptly announced to his family that he wanted to pursue a career in music instead. .... Unwavering in his vision for his future, Joey explains: "I realized that the truths I was interested in discovering through science were actually more accessible through music." .... Born and raised in Los Angeles to a teacher and a psychologist, Ryan experienced a unique perspective on life at an early age when his father nearly lost his life to cancer, resulting in a uniquely intellectual yet emotional viewpoint on life, love, and human nature in his songwriting. .... Joey has now toured the US and UK several times over, returning home this past October for a month-long residency at LA’s Hotel Cafe. In January he’ll tackle the east coast again with a residency at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, followed by another Hotel Cafe residency in March. .... Joey was able to independently finance his current EP, “Kenter Canyon,” by licensing his music to various media outlets. His music has been featured on Private Practice, One Tree Hill, iTunes Indie Spotlight, KCRW’s “Weekend Becomes Eclectic,” and various commercials, including two long-running ads for Wrigley’s in the UK. .... The 5 tracks were produced by Tony Berg (Jesca Hoop, Aimee Mann) and feature performances by Sara Bareilles, Dave Rawlings, Z Berg and Matt Chamberlain. With harmonies by Bareilles, the opening track “Broken Headlights” pays tribute to the shockingly clear Los Angeles air after it rains, gracefully likening it to the confessions of a long-hidden love. The song received its first airplay from Chris Douridas on KCRW. .... Joey Ryan's “Kenter Canyon” will be released on Mophonics on January 19th, 2010. .. .. .. .. "What's remarkable about Kenter Canyon is not the way it was paid for or the distribution method rather it is the songs themselves. Ryan demonstrates a maturity and a craftsman-like songwriting talent that one wouldn't expect out of a young musician.".. - Snob'sMusic.net .. Read Full Review.. .... "From the opening finger-picked guitar riffs of "Broken Headlights" to the bluesy folk rock of "Permanent," his earnest, rough tenor and personal yet relatable lyrics make Ryan's appeal quite obvious, and I'd be surprised if his name isn't one we'll start hearing much more frequently.".. - chewinggumfortheears.blogspot.com .. Read Full Review.. .... "One to watch".. - Jo Whiley, BBC Radio 1 .... "effortlessly charming music with a warm streak of melody, honesty and humility".. - Heather Browne, I am Fuel, You Are Friends .... "Armed solely with his acoustic guitar the Californian singer – who appeared completely relaxed on stage – strolled his way through his set with consummate ease. His gravelly and powerful vocal ranged from boombox to mouse-like whisper" ..- Zak Edwards, Birmingham Live, UK .... .. .. ..
