Event Details
2011 Carolina Music Award nominee, Ryan Daniel has been described as “What country music used to be about.” Daniel’s first effort, Love, Life and Memories, seamlessly blends warm vocals, touching lyrics, and a strangely optimistic melancholy in a cohesive album that most every country music fan can relate to.
Nominated for the Randy Travis award for best country male vocalist, this modern-traditional country album has something for everyone: it leaves some feeling that familiar pang of love and loss, while good ol’ boys who want to remember their school days of driving their trucks with friends; quivering housewives, and anyone who is a patriot will connect with Daniel’s soulful performance. Love, Life and Memories is as pure and emotional as it gets.
With thick layers of instrumentation fronted by Daniel’s trademark warm tenor voice and a tender ear for sophisticated pop-country poignancy, Daniel is able to combine the strength and warmth of Garth Brooks with the country fun of Brad Paisley. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden country album appealing to traditional, modern, and sentimental fans alike.
"Honky Tonk Holiday" and "Unknown Soldier," were certified No. 1 and 3 respectively on the International Association of Independent Recording Artists (IAIRA) music charts.
Ryan Daniel, based out of Sanford, NC, is a heart-warming modern-traditional country singer whose songs are relatable, suitable for all-ages and truly American. Inspired by country giant Garth Brooks, Ryan’s music will have you stomping your boots, waving your hat and wiping a tear from your eye. Ryan Daniel is an armed forces vet, a family man and a citizen who hooks his audience like a bass fisherman and reels them in. Ryan Daniel is a down-home, country good time.
Doc MacNab is a Greensboro, NC-based reliable, flexible and personable drummer. With many modern rhythms and classic styles, Doc brings a youthful exuberance to today’s music. Inspired by drummers like Neil Peart (Rush) to John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews) to Ronnie Vannucci (The Killers),Doc is a touring, sub and session drummer and proud to be a Pearl endorser.
