UPDATE 2/24/09 : I am currently writing songs for a new record. So far, these songs are heavy on melody and imagery. It's looking like a collection of intimate anthems. I can't wait for you to hear them. I'm working towards a fall 2009 release of a new record. In the meantime, here are some videos for you...
This Is A Post Show Performance At A Great Club In Bologna, Italy In November of 2008. The Song Is Cars & History From My 2006 Release And Side Project Called Strays Don't Sleep...
Some Streets Lead Nowhere (LYRICS INCLUDED)...
Jane I Still Feel The Same - Recorded In My Kitchen July, 2007...
I believe that "Some Streets Lead Nowhere" is one of the most beautiful and subtly powerful songs I have ever heard. It still makes me cry ever time I hear it. Thank you for writing it.
I so LOVE your music, Matthew! Ever since the first night I heard you open for Steve Earle in Raleigh, NC! (That was a LONG time ago....timewise; it could have been worse; although, it certainly never has been ;)
I'm still trying to put the Marilyn Manson cover together for you. Seriously. :)
I just listened to "Closing In"; hadn't heard it in a while. I forgot how much I love that song! If you are VERY lucky, you may see me The Living Room on July 23 :)
Look here! it's 1:40am and I'm reduced to drinking a Strongbow Cider! I DEMAMD! a show in Shreveport, la SOON! I've had to much happen recently and i don't know anyone else that will drink Jameson with me.... I bought you at least 5 in Dallas, so you owe me!
What's this I read that the album that you are recording right now may be your last? Stop that crazy talk right now. I don't know what I would do without new Matthew Ryan music. I've seen you twice in Chicago at Schubas. Some great shows and I want to see more. Keep doing what you are doing and the best of luck.
Hi , thank you for the
friendship, it's a pleasure having you among my friends. My best compliments for
your music. I wish you great success in all your pursue. Greetings from Italy.

Wow. To hear one of my favorite musicians cover one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands of all time is simply mind blowing. I cannot wait for this Afghan Whigs tribute album. Just another reason why Ryan is amazing.
I really like Slide Song. Keep juicing that wonderful brain of yours and Ill listen to every word. You should really come out to Seattle, I promise i would help promote the shit out of you, and I kniw a few others who would too. Hope all is well. Cheers.
