ABOUT RYAN JEWEL

With a rich, buttery baritone steeped in country music’s roots, Ryan Jewel delivers songs that feel both timeless and lived-in. Born and raised in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Ryan first picked up a guitar in high school, quietly honing the voice that would become his calling. While earning a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology at Clemson University, he began playing tailgates, fraternity parties and local bars to make extra money – but it didn’t take long for music to prove it was more than a side hustle. 

 

Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Ryan has built a loyal following through his authentic storytelling and radio-ready sound as reflected on his 2024 full-length debut album Same Bar, Different Town, which produced two charting singles including the title track and “Owe It All To You.” Blending classic country nostalgia with a modern edge, Ryan commands the stage with grit and grace – powerful enough to fill a room, yet intimate enough to feel personal. 

 

Readying his forthcoming sophomore album for release this summer, he has reunited with acclaimed multi-instrumentalist and longtime friend IIya Toshinsky to produce the project. His heartfelt new single “Live That Long,” along with recently released track “Ain’t Going Nowhere,” offer fans an early preview of the anticipated new record. A captivating live performer rooted in traditional country, Ryan has shared the stage with some of the genre’s most respected names, including Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Marty Stuart, Lauren Alaina, Little Texas, John Anderson and Neal McCoy. 

 

When he’s not on stage or in the studio, Ryan embraces the great outdoors, pursuing everything from hunting and fishing to hiking, camping, gardening, golfing, biking, motorcycles and snowboarding – living the adventurous, grounded life that inspires his music.
