Ryan McMahon Live at the Chapel
E
ngaging and honest, Ryan McMahon’s music is written from the heart and sung from the soul. A blend of alt country, americana and rock following the lead of his Canadian peers like Bryan Adams, Sam Roberts, Craig Northey. The singer/songwriter who has released six solo albums and brings his wit and charm to his live performance. Born on
the coast of British Columbia in a small seaside hamlet on Vancouver Island, Ryan’s first experiences performing were for family members laughing at his reiterations of comedians he loved. He grew up with the music influences of his parents, which included a mix of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, The Everly Brothers and BB King. Over the years, Ryan has opened for many iconic bands and artists from Buffy Ste. Marie and Lee Harvey Osmond, to Nickelback and Lisa Loeb. His talent, persona and musicality opened many doors to the range of genres encompassed in his songs. In 2019,Canadian Country Music singer Aaron Pritchett took Ryan under his wing and lit a new fire under McMahon’s feet as the pandemic settled into the hearts of people around the world. Ryan’s first U.S. radio single,“One More Fire,” is just a taste of his upcoming album.
