Musician:
Ryan Delaney
Website / Social Media:
Facebook
Genre:
Roots – Reggae
Members & their roles:
Ryan – lead singer, guitar
What music or artists inspired you?
Xavier Rudd, Kooii, Peter Tosh – both early and contemporary reggae music. I love simple yet heartfelt music; music that says something important.
How did you band get started?
I have always written lyrics and poems but I wanted to project them to a wider audience – so I started to sing. I still get really nervous but I believe in my lyrics and that helps me get over the nerves. When I sing I like to be sincere but never serious – that helps me enjoy it!
How would you best describe your live show:
Reggae music that is uplifting and easy to dance to.
What shows do you have coming up?
Drift Bar on the 22nd of May
Keep an eye on Facebook for more dates.
Tell us about your latest release:
I released an EP called Stand Up last year, but am collaborating with some people now to get a bigger sound and I am really excited about it.
Where can I get your music?
