Matthew Ryan has the ability to reach into your heart, and soul, and mind, and pull out what lingers there and give it life. He can either rock it into existence or gently breathe it into existence with haunting and soft tones and a hushed voice colored by grit, experiences, friends and loves lost and found, and his own truth. This music is no different. Matthew Ryan is a tragically underrated artist. This world would be a better place if more were in touch with his repertoire and its truths.
