NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Singer-songwriter Mike Ryan announces fall tour dates in support of newly released album Blink You’ll Miss It out Friday (10/20). The tour kicked off in Ryan’s hometown at Cowboy’s Dance Hall in San Antonio, TX on Friday and will continue with stops in major cities including Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA, Oklahoma City, OK and Houston, TX (see full list of tour dates below). Blink You’ll Miss It debuted at No. 6 on iTunes Top Country Albums chart.
Blink You’ll Miss It has been highlighted by press as a standout collection of songs that shine a light on Ryan’s knack for impressive songwriting, pop sensibility and vocal prowess. Music Row called the new music “Essential listening.” Cowboys and Indians pointed out, “Singles like ‘New Hometown’ and ‘Sad Song’ offer only a small taste of the overall talent displayed on Blink You’ll Miss It” and Lonestar Music Magazine added that the results on the album “…suggest that his career will only take off even more…” Ryan shared some of the inspiration behind his third studio album and his writing process with San Antonio Magazine ( HERE) and Celeb Secrets ( HERE). The Boot recently premiered the music video for current single “Sad Song” and shared, “Ryan’s intensely powerful, emotive vocals and beautifully simple piano playing give the track an ultimately uplifting and wholly authentic, if not entirely hopeful, feel.” View the “Sad Song” music video HERE.
Blink You’ll Miss It is the follow up to Bad Reputation which yielded three #1 singles on the Texas Music Chart and New Male Vocalist of the Year by Texas Radio. Two of the songs on the album are already making impressions at satellite and terrestrial radio including SiriusXM’s Highway Find “Sad Song” and “New Hometown” which has racked up nearly 5 million stream on Spotify. Fans can purchase Blink You’ll Miss It HERE.
The San Antonio, TX native’s talent has captured the attention of fans in the Lonestar state and it hasn’t gone unnoticed in Nashville. Signed as a writer to Sea Gayle Music Publishing since 2013, his latest chart-topping cut includes “Last Time For Everything,” a song he co-wrote with Brad Paisley, Smith Ahnquist, Chris DuBois, and Brent Anderson. Influenced early on by his grandfather’s musical ability, Ryan taught himself how to play the guitar while in college and he has since built an enviable following of avid fans, performing over 150 shows per year, including headlining shows at the iconic Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, TX.
