a few words from the man himself

Ry just won a songwriting contest for the American SongWriter magazine. They just posted his interview today.
Have yourself a read.

He just recorded the song this week, but it still is getting mixed.

He has this other new song, Peaceful Mind... you can listen to that here.

the beehive tea room

Ryan and the guys from The Madison Arm played last night at the Beehive Tea Room down town. That place is so hip, I can't believe I never knew it existed. The mis-matched furniture is super rad, and the rooms are decked out from floor to ceilings with monochromatic colored books and great framed art. The sugar cookies and scones were amazing, and as I left there last night, I decided I want to make a regular appearance there. Maybe Ryan could write some songs and I could read a book, all while sharing a hot pot of herbal tea. It sounds quite nice.
