About Me

i hate to talk about myself..."Singer/songwriter/producer McDougall often draws comparisons to Jeff Buckley, which isn't difficult to fathom with his haunting vocals and beautifully morose song arrangements. He proves that there are Atlanta singer/songwriters that can create captivating music without sounding like John Mayer carbon copies. Open Mic Madness’ Rifkind also echoes this sentiment. “What's great about Ryan McDougall is that he is terrific singer-songwriter, in the classic sense. He isn't a modern pop guy with a fancy sweater; he just kind of breaks your heart." -atlanta music guide
