   About Ryan McMahon
Nearly a year after releasing the impressive “Weeks, Months, Years,” Ryan McMahon is in the midst of a very big 2009.

His only desire, as it has always been, is to communicate through music; a talent, he has proven to all that have seen his performance, to be very good at. The speaking of his experiences through story telling by blending all of his influences; Warren Zevon, Pearl Jam, Tom Waits, and Bruce Springsteen all make cameos in Ryan’s unique blend of roots rock.

Every song pulls from the edges of folk, blues, roots and country flavours. Always sitting on the fence of a multitude of different genres, refusing to pigeonhole his sound to fit any one particular marketplace, Ryan’s music visits themes ranging from love and human relationships to the politics within the music industry itself and throughout the world.

The title track of his last record, “Weeks, Months, Years,” was awarded honourable mention by the West Coast International Songwriting Competition 2008 and his last solo performance at the Folk Guild on Vancouver Island earned him a main stage performance opening night of the Vancouver Island Folk Festival.

Nationally released on CBC, Ryan’s popularity on the airwaves is growing and seeping onto college programs across Canada.

Touring incessantly (solo or with band mates Mike Rogerson on guitar and Dustin Young on bass and backing vocals) from Vancouver to Eastern Canada, Ryan has begun to build an audience that is steadily growing as word spreads about his passionate, honest and raw performance. Ryan has been showcased at Canadian Music Week in Toronto and has also done a solo showcase at the Western Canadian Music Awards in Edmonton.

2009 will see more touring, finally reaching the opposite coast, and new recordings to deliver to the world. He is heading back into the recording studio to work with acclaimed producer Garth Richardson (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against) to see what new blends surface from the joint venture.

Ryan has opened with ease for artists ranging from Nickelback to Daniel Powter to Lisa Loeb, due to his ability to adjust his stage performance intensity to match his audience. With some of his goals being reached and more seemingly in his sights, chances are you’ll be hearing much more from Ryan very soon.

Hey Ryan!

I honesty wish I could but found out about your shows a little too late - I had and have plans that I was unable to move or change. But next time you are in Edmonton I definitely will be there - make sure you let me know what your next tour schedule is going to look like!

Thoughts:

Wink in, flutter about, wink out.
Touch all you can, but try not to break anything.
Enjoy the art of learning. Read. Read. Read.
If Mom told you life was fair, she lied.
If Dad said you can't play fair, he lied.
It's not God's fault. Do the math... there are just too many self centered people.
If you spend more than half your life truly happy, you've won.
Acceptance is the key.
Give of yourself unconditionally. Love unconditionally.
You may get hurt, oh well.
You may get used, oh well.
You will make mistakes, oh well.
Bravery is not the absence of fear. It's doing the right thing in spite of it.
Dream your dream. Live your dream.
If you stumble, oh well.
Dream your dream. Live your dream.
There is a God.
He or she doesn't follow any particular religion.
Pray however you like, just pray.
Sing every day, dance every day, laugh every day.
Try not to grow up too much.
To quote a very wise man, "All you need is love."
Wanna know a secret?

Ian
