Joey Ryan is a young musician from Enniscorthy, Wexford in Ireland. Previosly working in other musical outfits such as South-east metal band, Cronus, Joey started his persuing his love for acoustic music from a more roots based background. His first album. 'Hope in razorbeams' was released in 2008 and did well locally. It was Joey's first collection of music he had written on his acoustic guitar and reflected his favourite artists at the time. After selling out all printed copies of HIR, playing gigs on local circuits and shows around Ireland a new sound was emerging that sounded original and exciting. Joined sometimes by a backing band and a more tangled sound of rock/roots and blues was emerging. The new album, 'Fracture' is a step forward for Joey and showcases what he thinks are his best songs to date. The album also has a backing band playing too, giving the songs more energy and a different feeling. Over the course of the last year Joey has had the immense privilage of playing with many fine artists and influences such as Jack L, Jeff Lang and Clive Barnes and has also released a small EP, Bearing my cross.Hope In Razorbeams-2008Bearing my Cross-2008Fracture-2009"Joey Ryan is an upcoming songwriter cited as one to watch in the future" The Gorey and Enniscorthy Echo
