Dear Dallas Friends, 

Show announcement!! 

While I'm writing new music right now and that's got me completely engaged and fired up, there are a couple events I simply couldn't pass on because they were so cool. 

This is one of them: 

I'll be playing The Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, TX at 7pm on February 15th with Rhett Miller. 

Friday, February 15th 
I go on at 7pm 
Rhett follows at 8pm 

It's free! 

Make plans and join us. After the music there's a free showing of the movie, Black Panther. 

Here are all the details at Nasher's website: 

'Til Midnight At The Nasher

Stay tuned for a couple more announcements in the coming weeks.

It's a FREE SHOW.

Friends and Listeners, 

Make plans and help spread the word!

This Saturday I’m playing a special solo show in Columbia, MO. The details are at matthewryanonline.com/tour 

Then a little over a week later Doug Lancio and I are doing a string of duo dates through Texas (and even one in Durant, OK!). I’m putting together a very special show for both these events. I’ve been experimenting with some sounds and atmospheres. Trying to find my inner Van Morrison meets “Tom Eno”. Yes... Waits meets Eno. 

Sometimes you gotta challenge yourself so you feel that lightning. Then it’s worth sharing. Don’t worry, the songs are still the songs. I’ll be drawing from all the records and probably sneak a cover in here and there. Above all, my hope is to bring some cool weather into every room we visit with... I’m excited about this. This is the first time Doug and I have done some duo shows together.

Makes plans and help us spread the word!

Friends, 

It's been a beautiful summer. We're fresh from a beautiful tour with The Gaslight Anthem in The U.K. and Europe and now leaning into some shows in the US next week. 

The guys have been on fire and can't wait to see and play for you guys. Check out this video that was posted from our show in Cologne, Germany:

So we're hopeful you'll come and see us next week. I'll have The Northern Wires with me next week. Just click the art below to see all details and ticket links for next week's shows. 

And pssst... Texas we're planning a string of dates for you guys in Late September/Early October. Those will be duo shows. I always love stripping things down a little. These will be announced very soon. Please keep an eye out. I love playing for you guys and you know, I'll get to extend summer a little coming through your part of the world.

Alright. See you guys soon!
