As if I don’t already have enough things on my plate. One of my resolutions, on my very short list, of things to do this year is listen to even more music, live music that is. The one constant thing in my life that truly makes me happy is music. After all it’s the universal language of love, sadness, and happiness. Music touches all of us in a different but very profound way. So to start of the year on the right foot I’m excited to introduce you to Joey Ryan. He will be performing this upcoming Monday, January 5th at The Hotel Cafe. It’s songwriter roundup that night and a little birdie told me there will be one very special guest there that night so it’s one night I don’t want to miss.
You can find his music on iTunes or buy directly from here. I’ve posted a free download of “As It Must Be” and video, but my favorite song thus far is “Like a Cloak” head on over to his myspace page to take a listen. Enjoy and see you The Hotel Cafe!

I loved Joey’s MySpace about section so I’ll post here for your viewing pleasure.
A COUPLE CHOICE INDUSTRY QUOTATIONS:
“One to watch”
- Jo Whiley, BBC Radio 1“effortlessly charming music with a warm streak of melody, honesty and humility”
- Heather Browne, I AM FUEL, YOU ARE FRIENDS“Armed solely with his acoustic guitar the Californian singer – who appeared completely relaxed on stage – strolled his way through his set with consummate ease. His gravelly and powerful vocal ranged from boombox to mouse-like whisper”
- Zak Edwards, Birmingham Live, UKAND.. WHAT THE MYSPACE FANS ARE SAYING!
“Sorry I couldn’t make the show at Zoeys – had to go to a friend’s birthday dinner”
“darn, i was hoping to catch a show sometime soon.. but you’re a tad out of my driving range!”
“I don’t know if I can make your show in Ventura on Saturday”
“So, I was watching This is Spinal Tap the other night, and it occurred to me that you REALLY remind me of Mick Shrimpton, the drummer that spontaneously combusts during the filming of the documentary”
“i can listen to it all day when im cleaning my apt”
“Falling” is a song Ryan Adams would kill for. So, watch your back.”
“I am thinking you secretly love Kashi”
“GREETINGS 1 LOVE KINGMAN TO DA I AN FAMILY MAY JAH BLESS YOURE WEEK WITH JOY!!!”
“i would like to speak fluently english, just so to understand fully your songs”
