Ryan Bingham

Ryan Bingham is a Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician known for his raw, world-weary voice, cinematic storytelling and genre-spanning sound, blending folk, blues, country, rock, and mariachi. From his early years as a drifter and bull rider to his acclaimed 2007 debut Mescalito and penning “The Weary Kind” for the film Crazy Heart, Bingham has built a career defined by authenticity, artistic independence, deeply lived-in songs and commanding live performances. Across six acclaimed studio albums, two live records, and 2023’s raw, intimate seven-song EP Watch Out For The Wolf, Bingham’s commitment to honest, unfiltered storytelling has never wavered. That instinct carries into his seventh studio album, They Call Us The Lucky Ones, out now. His first full-length release in seven years, the 10-track collection was recorded with acclaimed Texas band The Texas Gentlemen and captures a world-class storyteller and a world-class band standing toe to toe in the studio. Tracked largely live with minimal overdubs, the album reflects the chemistry of a band fully locked into the moment, recalling the unfiltered spirit of his Mescalito era, sharpened by years on the road. From snarling rockers to tender ballads, They Call Us The Lucky Ones carries the grit, humor, heart, and vivid character-driven songwriting that continue to make Bingham one of the most authentic and compelling voices in American music.
