The Malibu EP - NEW RECORDING!

I'm happy to announce that next Wednesday I'm headed down to B-town to record a brand new disc of tunes entitled "The Malibu EP" with long-time friend and colleague Dave Weber of Airtime Studios. Nick Jaenicke, a great friend from Straight No Chaser/cruise ships/Mitchell Street Band days, will sit in on piano and some surprise guest artists will also be featured.

I've named the project "The Malibu EP" as I'm headed out to British Columbia in late-July to be the guest musician at the Young Life Malibu Camp, hence the oh-so-creative title for the new recording. Clever, I know ;)

The album will feature two new original songs, a bare-bones take on "Waiting" from I Can See Forever, as well as my acoustic spin on a handful of old-school hymns. Kudos to good friend Andrew Landau for getting in my ear about approaching the contemporary Christian genre for this project, something that I've always wanted to take a shot at.

I'm also planning on hitting the studio again in late June - this time with Mike Luginbill behind the board - to take on another batch of songs that are 99.9% ready to find a home in your iPods. It's going to be a busy (understatement of the year) summer and I'm excited to get going.

A late June release date for The Malibu EP is scheduled and it will be available on iTunes, CDBaby, AwareStore and through my new website, RYANSONGS.COM. An announement regarding pre-ordering the album will follow shortly...

Get hype!
