In an age dominated by the rapid fire of technology, short attention spans and the desire for everything all at once, Michael S. Ryan wants you to slow things down, take a look around and breathe slowly – this is your world, this is your life. There are moments out there that matter, away from our screens, demands, and daily pressures. This is the soundtrack for it all; playing softly in the background as things that matter happen – the good, the bad, and what’s worth fighting for. He wants to share these moments with you.

Michael S. Ryan is the solo project of singer, producer and frontman for the award winning Alt-Rock group The Town Heroes. As a prolific songwriter with hundreds of unrecorded songs, Michael S. Ryan highlights his Folk oriented influences and allows him to explore various avenues of song writing and performing.

For 2020, he released a new song — written, recorded, produced and mixed in his home studio — on the first day of every month. Those songs make up his debut album — “From The Bottoms Of Our Murky Hearts”. The 12 songs are a collection of emotive, lyrical and dense songs. They’re exactly what the title implies: song versions of the thoughts, feelings, pain and joy from deep inside us. Ryan’s falsetto yearnings are on full display showcasing his range, tenderness and ability to transform the listener with his empathetic tendencies. The songs immediately display the passion in what he does. Maybe you’ll cry, maybe you’ll bend over in side-splitting laughter. The only guarantee is that you’ll feel something.
