We capped off our "Winter's Evening with Ryanhood" tour with a sold out performance at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. For those of you who couldn't catch the tour, we captured this final show of the tour so you can enjoy it from wherever you are.

If you'd like to donate to the band, consider joining our Patreon, or donating directly via PayPal here.

Ryanhood has joined the Myriad Artists family! For bookings, contact Trish Galfano.

Big thanks to the folks at Takamine Guitars for sharing our new video for Appy Returns (which just so happens to feature us shredding on our Takamines!) Check it out here!

We'll be attending this year's International Folk Alliance conference in Kansas City May 19-21. For any other folkies who will be attending, our private showcase schedule is below.

Our album “Under the Leaves” made For Folk’s Sake’s ‘Best of 2021’ list! Check out the full list here.

Surprise! A present from us to you! 

Since we've missed getting to tour and perform for you in person this year, we wanted to surprise you with the next best thing—A Winter's Evening With Ryanhood (Live at Hotel Congress)— a fan-only live album recorded in front of a sold-out audience in Tucson, AZ on December 4th, 2021. Listen in your car, with your family, or as you make your way through the coldest snow. (Available as a free download or pay what you want).

We wish you sleigh rides and silent nights this holiday season! 

Yours Troubadourly,

Hey Everyone! 
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Ryanhood! 

In 2001, we played our first show together. And over the next 20 years, 8 albums, and 1000+ shows, we’ve been trying to “make our lives a song” worth singing. And you’ve been listening. 

To celebrate, we now present to you SKETCHES vol 1, a new album of rarities and unreleased songs! 

It’s half Ryanhood songs you’ve NEVER heard before, and half Ryanhood songs AS you’ve never heard them before. It’s our way of saying thanks, and inviting you more deeply into our creative community. 

SKETCHES vol 1 is exclusively available to anyone who joins our Patreon during our anniversary month of August. So if you’ve been thinking about checking out the tons of amazing things we’re doing on our Patreon, now is THE time! 

We’ve just completely revamped and relaunched our Patreon with all new features including: 

• An “All-Request Ryanhood Livestream Concert” every month! 
• A “Ryanhood Patreon Open Mic” once a month (a chance for YOU to play for US and the rest of the Ryanhood community!) 
• A new instrumental from Ryan every week! 
• A lyrical or philosophical post from Cameron every other week! 
• Our “Cover Song of the Month” voted on by you! 
• Stories Behind the Songs, Ryanhood Sheet Music, Song Premieres, and so much more. 

Since we’re still extremely limited on our ability to tour due to the pandemic, we could really use your support! We’re making Patreon THE place for you to experience all the fun & community of being a Ryanhood fan. So come give it a try for a month (or a year!)—we think you’re going to love it. 

Yours Troubadourly, 
Ryan and Cameron 
Ryanhood 

PS… SKETCHES vol 1 is available only until 11:59pm on August 31! Until then, you can get it as a download, a physical CD, or even get your name printed inside the artwork. Come see! 

We're happy to announce that we'll be performing at the 2021 Black Bear Americana Music Festival in Goshen, CT on October 9th, along with other great New England artists including Ellis Paul and Adam Ezra. Can't wait!

Nashville Lifestyles Magazine named "Under the Leaves" one of it's four picks for April, 2021(alongside releases from Eric Church, Parker Milsap, and Amy Speace.)

"Acoustic fusion aces Ryanhood offer an all-natural shot in the arm with Under the Leaves... mixing bluegrass speed, jam-ready melodies, and pop-rocking forward momentum, two guys with guitars challenge decades of easy-listening 'rules.'" Read the feature here.

PopMatters did a feature on our new single "Under the Leaves" (the title track from our forthcoming album). 

"A swirl of strings and multisided percussion in 5/4 time...Under the Leaves sees Ryanhood exploring new means of innovating their sound."  Read the full article here.

Check out this great interview with Jason M. Burns at Trunk Space. We talked about the benefits of being a duo, how we channel our creative energy when we can't tour, and whether there is such a thing as a "creative soul-mate". Here's a link to the full interview.

Our new single "The Fight", from our upcoming album Under the Leaves, was just named a semi-finalist in the 2020 International Songwriting Competition. The song draws inspiration from the likes of French historian René Girard and Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, Martin Luther King, Jr., and even Psalm 46, and we're honored to have it recognized! If you haven't heard the song yet, check it out here.
