Description:
Produced by friend and fellow worship leader Chris Lizotte and featuring guitarist Marc Ford, The Spirit, The Water, and The Blood is the ragged-but-true sound of a sinner saved by grace, lifting up a thankful heart to Jesus with his guitar and voice. In his debut release with Varietal, Ryan crafts simple songs with a poetic depth that invites his listeners to join him and lift their voices to commune with God.
Streams of country, rock, gospel, and folk blend together to create a unique musical backdrop upon which Ryans intimate worship and passionate praise are built. Ryans sound harkens back to that of artists like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Tom Petty while resonating with the influence of fellow worship leaders John Barnett, Chris Lizotte, and Irelands Brian Houston.
A worship leader in the Vineyard for over 15 years, Ryan has written and recorded several songs with Vineyard Music, including Better Than Life, Set Me on Fire, Let It Come, and Jesus Name. Ryan also contributed to the Vineyard Music albums, Your Love Reaches Me, The Burn Service and Never Looking Back.
