Irish musician Joey Ryan independently released his début album 'Dusk' in 2010 to great acclaim. After touring the UK and Ireland he has begun work on his next album, due out in 2012. Ryan's grounding in artists such as Waits, Dylan, Cave and various 40's blues artists show through in his atmospheric, desolate sounding guitar and gravely voice. Having toured with Mick Flannery, Jack L, Hayseed Dixie, Kelly Joe Phelps to name a few, 2012 is building to be a great year for this Irish artist.
