Born and bred in the northwest, Scott Ryan spent his early years in eastern Washington before moving to Salem, Oregon in 1996. Surrounded by a musical family, Scott Ryan learned to sing by performing with his father, and made music with his siblings, Randi and Caleb from an early age. After playing in several bands in and around the Salem music scene for a few years, he moved to southern California to attend college and began to write and record songs as a solo artist. After scoring the acclaimed short film, "Punky" and releasing his first single, "Buried," Scott Ryan released his full length indie debut, "The Coldest Room in the House," in April of 2008. A short tour of the west coast followed in June. Now poised for his newest release, the "Tree Man EP," Scott Ryan is on the brink of an artistic breakthrough for singer/songwriters everywhere, merging the old and the new, the traditional and the inventive, the foundational and the colorful. With a sophisticated and literate lyrical style, and eclectic influences ranging from Johnny Cash to the Talking Heads, Scott Ryan's songs embody the evolution of inspiration through the universal language of music.

"It's been awhile since I've been able to review an artist who is a definite crooner and Scott Ryan happens to be just that. His eloquent word choice and sophisticated blend of genres (mostly indie, folk, and pop) come together brilliantly in his first full-length album, The Coldest Room in the House."
~Pop Wreckoning
"...an indie, folk-rock work of genius that combines influences from Johnny Cash to Beck. From the strong, solid beats of "Tiny Soldiers" to the banjo strings of "Snowfall In My Mind," Scott Ryan keeps the audience guessing his next move."

Can I just say I am always blown away at your shows? I swear, "Tiny Soldiers" is my favorite song and I always get so happy to hear it live. =] Great job tonight, Scott! See you at work. =]
yeah its from that show. This was one of the best ones. Its hard cause they're film and the stuff I had to develop them was really bad so they had all these scratches from dirty chemicals.
Hi Friend! Lots of adventures in Long Beach. It's a totally new city with strange people and vegan cafes and a street of vintage shops. I love it here. Plus I'm like a block from the beach so I go sit there all of the time. Went to Hemet and recorded some back-up vocals for Todd. How about you? Adventures?
