Over the last decade, Ryan Curtis has continued to carve out a name for himself in Alt-Country and Americana music. His unique blend of old-school honky tonk and high desert country blues plays like a love letter to the past, bucking the slick sheen and tired cliches of today’s pop country radio in favor of traditional, songwriter-driven roots music. Ryan’s songs are usually about life’s harder-learned lessons, painting cinematic pictures of anti-heroes from the Midwest to the Rockies. His visionary tales of down-and-out townies, bar room drifters, and forlorn lovers, mournful subject matter he turns into country gold.
Ryan's first solo record, 2021’s Rust Belt Broken Heart, was woven with a western noir sound soaked in the sorrowful twang of pedal steel. His latest Ain’t Ever Easy, (released in July of '23 on American Standard Time) builds on that, but with a more guitar-forward sound, mixing in early 70’s rock n’ roll, (a’ la Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street era Rolling Stones), alongside classic 60’s country and honky tonk. The gravelly voice of the Michigan-born, Boise-based singer has been praised on Serius/XM Outlaw Country and earned acclaim from Hollar Country, No Depression, and Saving Country Music. You can catch Ryan and his band out on the road week in and week out bringing the heat to the dives and haunts of the great American West and beyond.
