Matthew Ryan, voted San Antonio Artist of the Year for now three years in a row, was raised on traditional country in the Texas town of Elmendorf. When his grandfather first played “Workin’ Man Blues” on their cassette player, Matthew learned the words within hours, and since then, hasn’t stopped singing true country tunes that define his sound today.
With a history of sharing the stage with The Bellamy Brothers, John Conlee, Gene Watson, Clay Walker, Johnny Lee, Eli Young Band, Travis Denning and many others, he is one of the biggest up and comers in the state.

Matthew Ryan grew up on traditional country music, and began recording with a small label in San Antonio in 2021 after they heard his traditional country voice on a social media video.
Merle Haggard is Matthew Ryan's inspiration. Huntsville is Matthew's favorite song. However, he is also influenced by George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Waylon Jennings.
We normally arrive 2-3 hours before the performance to set up. We are flexible, but normally perform at minimum 60 minutes with no breaks, but can also accommodate up to a four hour performance with three 20 minute breaks inbetween.
Yes! We're from Texas so we're used to hot environments in particular.
Clients absolutely have the ability to make requests in advance. However, we prefer to stick with our setlist that folks have loved. We can also provide this setlist prior to an agreement.
We are the perfect band for people who want to two-step or simply enjoy traditional country music. We have been voted best band in San Antonio three years in a row with over 196,000 votes cast across categories in the city's biggest publication - MySA.
