Ryan David Orr

For almost two decades, Ryan has been a major player on the American folk scene. A singer-songwriter and experienced musician, he’s travelled all over the United States playing in many of folk music’s legendary venues. For Ryan, performing and writing is a family tradition. His grandmother played sax and clarinet and his mother was a professional folk singer. Growing up in Ashland Oregon, Ryan travelled with his mother to venues and festivals up and down the West Coast. So, it was only natural when Ryan started to join his mom on stage, playing the violin by age seven and learning the guitar at 12.
