About the artists:
Brent Ryan: “I am a Texas original, born and raised, and that does seem to matter to some folks around the Texas Hill Country where I live and frequently perform. I will say that my roots here in Texas have certainly influenced my songwriting and my “sound”. I cannot think of a better place to draw from a long legacy of top-notch songwriting than this great state of Texas.
When I was young, I had plans to be a youth pastor. I lovingly convinced my mother into purchasing me an acoustic guitar while in high school, as I never knew a youth pastor who was not clad with a guitar ready to lead the masses to beautiful vistas. I still have this goal in mind even if the route is slightly detoured. But anyhow, in no time, I was jamming along to the tunes of Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, and our Texas King, George Strait. Country music was an early love.
Everything changed in my college years when more talented friends than I exposed me to the more roots-based Texas music of Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and Townes Van Zandt. Prior I had not realized that literary prose and a good song could be one and the same thing. I had known music that you could dance to, but now I was learning music that told a story. I wanted to tell my own stories, and maybe get a few folks dancing along the journey. (https://brentryanmusic.com/bio)
Nichole Wagner: “One of Austin’s most promising young singer-songwriters” (Peter Blackstock, Austin-American Statesman), Nichole Wagner’s music is rooted in Americana-folk traditions, with disarmingly honest lyrics accented by wistful alto. Her most recent EP, Dance Songs for the Apocalypse, was released in May 2020. She is currently working on a new full-length release for 2022.
Danno Simpson: A Singer & Songwriter in the Country, Roots, and Americana vein. Born in Texas and raised in Georgia, Danno is a product of the two rich musical environments he grew up in. Drawing inspiration from the songwriting masters of Texas and the Mountain Music of Appalachia, Danno’s sound and style pay homage to the past while maintaining a visceral connection to audiences of today. Since releasing his debut EP “Honest Work”, Danno has been touring all over the Rocky Mountains and his home state of Texas. You can find “Honest Work” on all major streaming platforms.
