It's finally done! The new album is finally done and will be released on June 11th. The CD release show will be Saturday, June 11th at the Branding Iron in Show Low, AZ on the back patio. It
s a $5 cover, all ages welcome, and there will be two special guests performing: The Franklin Girls and Bryan De Ceasar. Come out if you can make it. If not, the new album will be available on CD Baby dot com and also at iTunes. Much love:)

Howdy y'all. I know I haven't been on here for awhile, but I finally have some good stuff to share. I've been plugging away on the new album, which is getting closer every day. A couple days ago, Tobie Milford, violinist extraordinaire, came over and laid down some lovely violin parts. You can check out his stuff at TobieMilford.com. Very good wicked awesomeness. Later this week, Roy Figueroa Jr. will be stopping by to throw down some horn parts. It's sweet to get all the little tasty instruments on the tracks. Shooting for release sometime this fall if all goes well. Much love.

Saw a great bumper sticker this weekend. It said "I like my politics tea flavored." I thought that was just special. I had some great shows lately. I got to play at Tranquility Day Spa a few weeks ago. Last weekend I played a show at Open Spaces Yoga Center. Still moving forward on the album, but still not sure of a finish date. If you haven't watched the show The Office, find it and watch it. I'm addicted. I've watched the first two seasons in the past two weeks. Flippin' love it. Okay, more updates soon. Much love:)

Howdy sports fans! It's been awhile since I posted an update on the music situation. Rest assured, we're getting there. Just a couple more vocal main lines to track and some horns and tasties and we're on our way. We just got hit with crazy super freez-tastic snow this past week, so everything slowed down. I had a pile in my yard that actually came up to my shoulders. As you can see from the picture, Shane wasn't very upset by it.

Another cool development is that the artwork is underway. Super wicked surrealist painter, JoBeth Sexton, is doing an oil painting for the cover of the album.

Tune in this Sunday at about 2 or 3 Mtn. time to KKNT 960AM if you're in the Phoenix area, or go to www.azmusiccafe.com to hear me in a live, in-studio performance. There will be a bunch of people playing. On Friday I'll be playing at Macy's in Flagstaff. Then on Saturday, February 6th, I'll be doing a show at Open Spaces Yoga Center in Lakeside. Show starts at 7pm and you can go to www.openspacesyoga.com for more info, or go to my website and find directions and stuff. I hope all you all are well and enjoying the winter weather. Much love:) -Ry

Hey y'all. Here's the video from an interview with the White Mountain Independent. I'm beginning plans for the CD release show. Can't wait to throw down for it. Enjoy!:)

I hope everyone had a super lovely christmas. Or whatever holiday you celebrate. And if you don't celebrate anything, then I hope you had a good day. I stayed over at my mom's house and had a sleepover with the dogs, stayed up late watching Seinfeld and drinking coffee with brandy, then woke up and did the whole giddy-children-at-christmas thing. Then we went straight back to work in the studio. Tracked some solid vocals the past few days. Our friend Jeremy was in town so he hung out for the session. Good to see him. I hope everyone has wonderful new year-ing. Much love and light.
