The work of singer-songwriter Ryan Oyer is intrinsically tied to personal experience and emotional connection. Oyer joyfully embraces his own history to inform the spaces within his music and uses the resulting rhythmic roar as a way to connect with his audience. Universal sentiment and intimate insight are irrevocably intertwined within a landscape of folk-rock rurality and indie rock tenacity. Wistfully exploring the same environments as fellow storytellers Jeff Tweedy and Jim James, he conjures comfortable evenings situated around campfires and loses himself within the lulling ease of front porch singalongs.

"I Can't Breathe" was written in memory of George Floyd — a 46-year-old Black man killed by police in Minnesota.
Our hope is to build a bridge of compassion, love, and peace.
Joel Forlines (guitar/sax) wrote the words "I understand that I will never understand However, I stand with you" on his facebook page and Ryan said that it needed to be in a song. Joel said to write it, and in the next 30 minutes most of the song was written. Ryan finished it the next morning at around 4am when he woke up from a dream. He messaged Christian Collier about creating a beat for the song, he also suggested having Zowie Boyd sing on it. Ryan met Bindy through Soundcorps and she sang on the song and wrote the "We are the people" lines. He also asked Raul Enrique & Kofi Mawuko to add percussion. Christian Craan plays bass and was recorded by Jake Smith in Knoxville, TN. Matt "Shiggy" Shigekawa added guitar as well.
All proceeds from the song will go to Concerned Citizens for Justice of Chattanooga, a multi-racial Black Liberation organization.

Megan Howard and Ryan Oyer and their band-mates were affected by the loss of two of their friends and band-mates Josh Bates & Hunter White.
Both lost their battles with mental illness. We love them dearly and want to honor their memory.
Megan and Ryan co-wrote the song "Ever-Widening Circles" paying homage to the influence they both had on their friends and family.
We are donating 100% of the proceeds from this song to the Mental Health Association of East Tennessee. They provide essential early intervention, information, and client services, on behalf of those who sometimes are not able to advocate for themselves.
We hope that this song brings you solace and provides a way to give back to a cause that impacts us all.
We are our brother's keepers.
Much love, Megan & Ryan.

I was blessed with the opportunity of getting a sneak peek of the amazing Singer/Songwriter Ryan Oyer’s newest album. Silver Linings is incredible.
The first track is a breathtaking sound of nature. The music of birds chirping waking to a new day, time and place. Every track is placed in a way that takes you on an adventure of a day and journey of life and love. The album ends with his beautiful version of "What a Wonderful World."
That wraps up the entire message of this album. It is a wonderful world full of Silver Linings.
