The Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College welcomes back Ryanhood as part of the Backstage Pass Concert Series on Friday, April 5, 7:30 pm. The International Acoustic Music Awards winners for ‘Best Group/Duo’ are known for their tight vocal harmonies and big acoustic riffs, have made them favorites on the touring circuit for over 15 years. Audience will be seated on-stage with the artists as part of its Backstage Pass Concert Series.Ryanhood got their first break more than a decade ago as street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market. It was there that they were spotted by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene, where Campus Activities Magazine would name them “one of the most requested acts by college buyers all across the country.” They’ve since gone on to perform more than a thousand shows in 46 U.S. states over the past decade, and have shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, and many more.
Ryanhood was recently named the “Discovery of the Year” by John Platt at WFUV in New York City and was a featured act at Australia’s National Folk Festival in 2018. Their latest album Under the Leaves, sees the pair’s lead guitarist Ryan David Green stepping into the role of sole producer, weaving a tapestry of lush strings and rich harmonies. The album, like their shows, is driven by strong acoustic guitar performances and is at turns energetic, hopeful, and quietly moving—a musical invitation to breathe, and to soak in a river of melodies and harmonic hooks.
Cameron Hood, the band’s primary lyricist, has waded into those musical rivers with dream-like verses about seeds and forests, breath and wind, and the cycles and seasons that frame our lives. Throughout the album’s songs, a question is asked: How do we create meaningful and lasting change in a world filled with division and turmoil? The offer on Under the Leaves is to slow down and face the one thing we have the power to change – ourselves – as the duo sings on the album’s second track, “the only revolution is the one within.”
Green and Hood currently reside in their hometown of Tucson, Arizona, where they have won more than a dozen Tucson Music Awards including “Best Folk Band” and “Best Rock Band”. Audiences in Durango might recall their 2023 Durango summer performance in Buckley Park at Concert Hall @ The Park.
