RYLAND MORANZ (Singer-Songwriter from Alberta, Canada)

Since his last Australian tour in 2023, Canadian Singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo afficionado Ryland Moranz has been busying himself with recording his 3rd album, Better/Worse, which he has recently released his first single, 'When I'm Gone', and official video for which you can view below. Ryland's enthralling live shows featuring vocals, guitar, banjo, harmonica and mandolin wax and wane between stories and songs which feature his poignant lyricism influenced by his favourite literary giants like Kurt Vonnegut and Ernest Hemingway. His original songs are compositional templates determined by Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, or Blaze Foley, whose tragic demise is recalled in Ryland's song, 'There Ain’t New Songs', which, like the ragtime-style 'Run Rabbit Run', is one of many sublime highlights featured on Ryland’s beautiful January 2021 sophomore release, XO, 1945. You can expect a more steeped and refined offering in Ryland's upcoming album soon to be released later this year. His solo shows are punctuated with quick wit and even quicker banjo picking and filled with humorous renderings of tales and songs based on true and imagined narratives. This all makes for a highly entertaining live show whether you are a fan of the banjo or yet to be convinced of it's beguiling sound, don't miss Ryland while he is touring Australia this Spring/Summer.
