EPK - Ryder Green

Killer new songs coming soon!

From blistering renditions of blues-infused rock, hard country and soul to influences of funk and rock ‘n roll, Ryder Green brings a dynamic mix of firepower and grit, effortlessly intertwined with melodic engaging songs, and straight-from-the-soul improvisation. His distinctive tone, infectious original songs, and attention-grabbing covers ignite crowds of all ages.

He has shared the stage with many other artists over the years including, but not limited to: Walter Trout, Christone Kingfish Ingram, The King Brothers, Matt Schofield, and most recently has been co-writing and playing with Shane Dwight.

Combined with an ever-growing depth and mastery on all levels, he can wow the audience in a uniquely uplifting way.
