"Crosby's autobiographical tales of quiet struggle amount to a broader investigation of what it means to be human - to feel pain, confusion, need and maybe even satisfaction at fever pitches, as peaks in the valleys of routine that make up our daily lives. " (Ted Drozdowski, the Boston Phoenix)
"Ryan Lee Crosby has turned his story, once sad and seemingly doomed, into a tale of redemption and freedom found through music. His voice, haunting and lithe, is at the forefront with threadbare honesty." (James Reed, Boston Globe)
"Crosby's voice will make you ache and just might levitate you a little with its dreamlike sweetness. Ryan Lee's got something really poignant to say, and he does it through his own brand of alternative folk-rock, which will turn you on your head." (Aimsel Ponti, Portland Press Herald)
Boston's Ryan Lee Crosby spins personal hardship into songwriting gold. Crosby's stuff is especially authentic, fueled by his father's terminal cancer and his own brush with hard drugs and homelessness. His well-reviewed album "There Is No Music" will soon be followed by a split EP on the Pittsburgh label Sort Of. As Crosby zigzags the country on tour, though, his many ghosts are sure to follow. (Doug Wallen, Philadelphia Weekly)
One of the Boston scene's up and coming young stars is Ryan Lee Crosby. This emotionally honest songwriter and his band, Ryan Lee and the Mindless, are supporting their debut album "There is no Music," (which is) a mellow, introspective blend of lo-fi folk, indie rock and Americana, featuring a relaxed combination of quiet guitar, spacious drums, and confessional lyrics. (Jamie Perkins, Portsmouth Herald))
