"Whether he's playing with his own solo band or other various outfits, he can't be kept off Canadian stages. Ryan puts most of his energy in his passion for studying acoustic traditional blues, jazz and old time music. This led him to spending a winter in New Orleans where he wrote the majority of the material featured on Steppin’ Down South. This album is saturated with the sounds and rhythm of New Orleans streets.
Steppin’ Down South captures the sound of hillbilly blues and jug band jazz..."

***the BURYING GROUND***
"..Woody Forster (vocals, resophonic guitar), and Devora Laye (vocals, washboard, saw, kazoo) have been charming modern hearts all over western Canada, lending new life to old songs while composing original tunes that sound straight out of the 20s and 30s. Spinning Ragtime, Jazz, and early Blues and Country into a musical tapestry that will keep you warm on your most lonesome nights. Woody’s deep, whiskey-soaked, smoke-ringed rasp and Devora’s sweet feather touched honeycomb bell tones will roll you into an old time reverie.
Shedding light on aspects of the human experience that resonate into the modern day, The Burying Ground is not just your great-grandpappy’s band, as they touch on mental health, the traumas of war, social justice, sorrow, strength, determination, and good old fashioned lost and found love. They’ll break down your pain while having you up and dancing away your blues."
