RYMAN

Nashville-born singer-songwriter RYMAN is carving out a lane of his own at the intersection of indie folk, alternative country, and indie pop — a sound he lovingly calls “Barn Pop” and “Y’allternative.” Blending heart-on-the-sleeve storytelling with infectious melodies and modern folk-pop production, RYMAN is quickly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in Nashville’s growing indie-folk scene. His debut album, Growing Pains, arriving July 31, 2026, captures the emotional uncertainty, self-discovery, and growing pains that come with navigating change in early adulthood. Across the album’s 11 tracks, RYMAN pairs deeply reflective lyricism with an expansive, melodic sound inspired by the emotional honesty of classic country songwriting and the modern sensibilities of artists like Medium Build and Role Model. Born into a musical family, RYMAN began creating melodies at just three years old. He started writing songs in his early teens and signed his first record deal before graduating high school. While his earliest releases explored a more pop-forward direction, RYMAN ultimately found his artistic center through vulnerable folk-pop songwriting rooted in sharp storytelling and emotional transparency. RYMAN has toured alongside Role Model, Mon Rovîa, Stella Lefty, Joshua Slone, Ben Kweller, and Haffway, and is slated to appear at festivals including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Borderland Music Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, and AMERICANAFEST in 2026.
