Raised on ranches, built by hand

Anthony Ryan was raised on ranches and farms across New Mexico and Montana before he ever turned a wrench for a living. He got his first guitar around age two — no surprise, given his dad was a mariachi singer who played guitar, saxophone, and accordion. His mother's roots run through Muleshoe and Amarillo, Texas; his father came to this country as an immigrant farmer and musician.

These days he still works the oil field by trade, and he's country to the bone by everything else. That mix — ranch land, mariachi horns, West Texas grit, and a working man's schedule — is what shows up in the music: honest, hard-earned, and built for people who clock in.

His songs live at the intersection of classic country storytelling and the two-step, honky-tonk energy of a Friday night after a long week — built for people who've never had the luxury of writing songs for a living, only the need to write them anyway.
