BORN AND RAISED IN RURAL SAGINAW, TEXAS 23 YEAR OLD RYAN MCBRIDE HAS TAKEN FORT WORTH'S LIVE MUSIC SCENE BY STORM WITH HIS HEARTFELT LYRICS AND RAW EMOTION - SPUN FORTH FROM HIS BRAND NEW DEBUT ALBUM, QUICKSAND.
AN ACOUSTIC OPENING GIG FOR FORT WORTH BASED INDIE ROCKER JOEY GREEN HELPED LAND RYAN ON THE TX MUSIC LANDSCAPE. HEARING RYAN’S TALENT, JOEY IMMEDIATELY OFFERED TO PUT HIM IN THE STUDIO.
WITH 20 songs ready, JOEY AS PRODUCER, JOEY’s ROCKIN BAND DEFINING BRISCOE AS SESSION PLAYERS AND WITH FAMED LOCAL PRODUCER BART ROSE AT THE CONTROLS, QUICKSAND WAS RECORDED IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. BUT ONCE IN THE STUDIO, THE MUSIC FLOWED LIKE WINE, THE TIGHTNESS AND COMRADERIE BETWEEN RYAN AND JOEY EVIDENT FROM THE MOMENT THE REELS STARTED TO ROLL.
RYAN’S MUSIC IS BEING HAILED AS “ALT-COUNTRY THAT iS EDGY, POPPY, WITH GENERATION Y LYRICAL SUBTLETIES THAT SPEAK TO THE SOUL”. RYAN’S SONGS EACH REPRESENT A PERSONAL INFLECTION INTO HIS LIFE AND WITH EACH TRACK THE LISTENER IS ABLE TO FEEL THE EMOTION OF HIS HEARTFELT, yet GRUNGY VOCAL DELIVERY. TWO OF THE ALBUM’S MOST
POWERFUL SONGS, ”HEARTS” AND “RUNAWAY”, BOTH PERSONIFY RYAN’S MUSICAL STYLE AND SHOWCASE HIS ROCKIN’ LIVE SHOW, WHICH IS QUICKLY BECOMING A MUST SEE ACT IN THE DALLAS/FORT WORTH LIVE MUSIC SCENE.
WITH INFLUENCES RANGING FROM WAYLON TO THE STONES, AND LYRICS MORE IN TUNE WITH CONOR OBERST AND RHETT MILLER, RYAN MCBRIDE’S MUSIC IS SURE TO DELIGHT A WIDE VARIETY OF MUSIC FANS OF ALL AGES. IF HIS ALBUM IS ANY INDICATOR, THIS YOUNG SONGWRITER AND HIS ROCKIN BAND WILL QUICKLY BE RISING THE RANKS OF TEXAS MUSIC’S NEWEST SUPERSTARS.
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.

hey! just wanted to say hi and see what was cookin'? Nothin crazy new over here, just enjoying a peaceful afternoon. Have a great weekend :) much love ~adrian edward
Hey, just stopping by to wish ya a great weekend and hopefully run into ya. There's alot going on at Pitchers Sports Bar in Arlington. Tomorrow night were hosting the debut of SACRED GROOVE, a Lynch Mob tribute band featuring local rock legends Russ D.Contreras on Guitar, Andy Murray on Vocals, Kenny Sizelove on Drums & last by not least Harm Wilson on Bass. If you thought that was enough... uh.. WRONG! A huge party will set off by Maiden Texxas! Best part of all this?? Only FIVE BUCKS to see 3 rocking bands with a possible special guest! Show starts at 8pm. Saturday has a great line up of 4 rock bands, then each weekend till mid December is looking the same. Wow, right? The local rock scene vibe is back & stronger than ever!
Oh, and if you wanna check out the local who's who in the DFW rock scene, go check out the DFW NOISE myspace (www.myspace.com/dfwnoise). We're close to releasing reviews, shoutouts and all kinds of content, like what's going on for Halloween for the October issue. We also have new staff contributors! :D If your a freelance reporter or photographer, I want to hear from you. DFW NOISE is reporting on the BUZZ in the local music scene. Speaking of which...
just checked out a new totally underground garage party that'll be happening on the weekends with live bands & it's BYOB. The band According to Legend with help from their close friends & family have come together to provide a place we can just go hang out, like a block party. It's for 21+ only with a $10 donation.
What else.. hmmm.. Alot of great band nights, which I just can't even sum up! You just gotta go check out the calendar. Oh, and confirmed last night, PIMPADELIC will be coming back to Pitchers in January! Keep your eyes on the lil' bar for great band nights with cheap drinks and low cover charge. www.my
Well we tried to come see you play at Eagle's Nest but with the first drink we ordered the bartender told Case he was cut off. So we ended up leaving. He hadn't even drank yet. And now he'll never go back. =( I'm sure you rocked it though. =)
hey just stopping by to say i absolutly love your music..Oh and it was great meeting you at the red dirt round up with my brother ricky(:, hope to see you at other concerts!
Hey, just dropping by to see how things were going. We've got a AWESOME October going on! If you get a chance come check out our calendar,. I just updated it. If ya can't see the bright side of things going on with us, well let's polish up the dull sides. haha - I always say to laugh when you can. it's the cheapest medicine! :D Well, if that fails you can always get a $3 jagerbomb from us anytime (over 21 only)! haha. Leave a comment on our page to let me know what ya think of our weeks we've got coming up. Oh, and if you know of any bands that are available to come jam, tell em' to hit me up. Peace!
