Ryan Clair Releases 'Less Traveled Road'
Minnesota based singer/songwriter Ryan Clair has just released his full length album 'Less Traveled Road' with Old Bear Records. The album has already charted at #21 on iTunes' Christian/Gospel charts.
The future is bright for Ryan. His first release caught the attention of SoundCloud naming him a top 100 Christian artist in 2017. Noisetrade featured the first single from his new album, “I Want Jesus To Walk With Me (The Valley)”, as a notable release. Second single “Throw Me a Line” picked up right where his previous single left off, with an audio experience that intertwines the elements of a small-town country church foot stomp, which carries the rhythm for the instrumental charge on Ryan’s acoustic guitar.
Born and raised in a small mountain community in southern California, Ryan was the first born child to a young mom who did all she could to raise a kid amidst trials, heartache and broken relationships. Though she didn't play, music was something Ryan's mother shared with him at an early age. Music has a way to help escape reality and bring a sense of joy and peace in the moments of pain and uncertainty.
For Ryan the music became a reality, a part of life and an Identity. Picking up a guitar in his early teens and spending much of his life playing in bands. Ryan believes he has finally reached a place where he feels at home. It's music that is rooted and carry's on through generations. A style that all ages can appreciate.
A family man with 5 kids and a beautiful wife, Ryan writes music that tells his story and faith journey as a follower of Jesus Christ. When Ryan is not playing shows you can find him leading worship at The Journey North Church in Baxter Minnesota.
