Ryan Foss

Ryan Foss is a Sing??er/Songwriter/Performer originally from Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Foss has been scribbling down lyrics on napkins and humming melodies ever since he was a boy. His tunes have landed him shows with folk legends like Tom Paxton and Ellis Paul. His honest demeanor, distinctive voice and upbeat melodies lend him a warm welcome wherever he performs.

Foss is an old soul with a youthful exuberance who plays in the tradition of the poet troubadour. His songs are filled with layers of chords, combined with hooks and rhythms, plus tinges of afro-beats and jazzy surf riffs. His musical influences range from "old school folk" such as Woody Guthrie, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to more contemporary artists like Jack Johnson, Jeff Tweedy, and David Gray. File under Indie rock/Americana for now, but Foss is quickly carving out his own brand of West Coast Folk.

Be on the lookout this summer for his upcoming EP. It is primed and ready to be heard on your Iphone, car radio, laptop , or wherever else you can listen to music. Just sit back and enjoy his relevant and catchy material!
