Scott Ryan - Born and bred in the northwest, Scott Ryan spent his early years in eastern Washington before moving to Salem, Oregon in 1996. Surrounded by a musical family, Scott Ryan learned to sing by performing with his father, and made music with his siblings, Randi and Caleb from an early age. After playing in several bands in and around the Salem music scene for a few years, he moved to southern California to attend college and began to write and record songs as a solo artist. After scoring the acclaimed short film, "Punky" and releasing his first single, "Buried," Scott Ryan released his full length indie debut, "The Coldest Room in the House," in April of 2008. A short tour of the west coast followed in June. Now poised for his newest release, the "Tree Man EP," Scott Ryan is on the brink of an artistic breakthrough for singer/songwriters everywhere, merging the old and the new, the traditional and the inventive, the foundational and the colorful. With a sophisticated and literate lyrical style, and eclectic influences ranging from Johnny Cash to the Talking Heads, Scott Ryan's songs embody the evolution of inspiration through the universal language of music.
