About Me

Ryan Baxley is a singer/songwriter based out of Costa Mesa, CA. He began
performing as an acoustic act in 2004. His first album, "This Hour Of Loneliness,"was
written and recorded in 1 month and has only been released online. The album features
9 very raw, yet dramatic acoustic tracks with obvious lyrical content inspired from past
failed relationships.
In 2005, he released his sophomore album, "Bedtime Stories & Fairytales."
While, still pertaining to similar subject matter as his debut record, Bedtime Stories is
light hearted with simple and catchier melodies.
In 2006, Ryan put a band together consisting of long time friend, Sean Cimino (electric guitar),
Tyler Chester (bass, keys), and Dan Bailey (drums, percussion).
They tracked the album, "As Long As We're Laying The Cards On The Table" in
September of 2006, but before the record was mixed, the files were corrupted and the
album was lost.
After a year of debate whether or not to re-track the album, a new one was written, and
the "Cards" record was left to be nothing but a handful of unmixed studio sessions.
Ryan Baxley and his band, which features new drummer, Aaron Redfield,
went into the studio in September 2007 to record their first collective record, "Lessons I've
Learned."
One track from this album can be found on the "EP4FREE" record, as well as 2
acoustic tracks from the unreleased "Cards" record. "Lessons I've Learned" is
expected to be released in mid 2008.

I write songs about my life.
Sometimes they're happy, sometimes not.
But, they're honest,
and I think that's what matters most.
You guys are just listening to my
journal, pretty much.
