RyneShyne is a singer-songwriter from Lowell, MI, playing the styles of folk, rock, pop, alternative, and comedy in acoustic fashion, with help from his electric kazoo.

In December of 2023, RyneShyne released his first book of poetry and lyrics called The Window Waiter, and is on the brink of his new solo album, due out spring of 2025.

The Stray is a listening room style venue and cafe, where performers are front and center, not background entertainment. We frequently ask attendees to silence their phones and keep conversations low out of respect to performers and other audience members.
In addition to our craft beer, coffee and wine selection, our kitchen will be open serving our full dinner menu until 9pm! Get here early to snag your favorite seat and grab a bite to eat before the show begins. This show is free to attend, but you can support artists through tips.
