Review for Ryan Oyer Band:
Ryan Oyer's all new stage show is possibly the most ambitious undertaking by a Chattanooga band yet. This full band ensemble marks a major step up in Ryan's career:
On Saturday 14 musicians will engage on the Camp House stage, featuring full horn and string sections and backing vocals supporting Ryan Oyer's traditional five piece rock band.
Earlier this summer Ryan Oyer proved a major point at his Nightfall headlining performance when his full band assembled before a few thousand people who came together and remained in rapt attention, many singing along with the already familiar songs and the skillful arrangements featuring Chattanooga's hometown musicians.
Ryan Oyer has the kind of mass appeal that makes his music universally likeable, listenable and memorable. Somehow it harkens back to the glory days of James Taylor and Jackson Browne, although Ryan was raised on the influence of Oasis and earlier Beatles and John Lennon recordings. "He has a voice I can listen to".. said a new fan at a recent concert.
Celebrating the release of the new 15 song album "Pinup Queens & Silver Screens" plus the six song EP "The Matinee," both will be available at the event.
These are possibly the most meticulously produced albums ever to come out of Chattanooga's burgeoning music scene. Over 30 of the Chattanooga area's most accomplished musicians participated with instrumentals and vocals including Butch Ross, Tiffany Taylor, Megan Howard and Danimal Pinson, many of whom will appear onstage at this Saturday celebration. Produced by Butch Ross, Ryan Oyer and Michael McDade the sound quality and mix on these recordings are top notch. Ryan's songwriting is straightforward and stays on course as to matters of the heart, specifically romantic relationships with all their trials and benefits.
Webb Barringer, an up and coming Chattanooga singer songwriter who will be opening the Saturday show stated, "Ryan Oyer's understanding of love and emotion is something that will haunt you with its sincerity. It'll stick with you."
The live show gives a full on rock concert, bordering on moments of pre-psychedelia, complete with light show by Blueshift Optical productions. This is definitely going to be a full evening of entertainment. With a huge appeal to adult music loving audiences. It is all ages friendly as well. You won't find a more shareable and stimulating evening of family entertainment, bring the kids and they may discover what hometown heroes can accomplish with vision, determination and perseverance. Ryan's confidence and constant experience performing in front of live audiences is paying off
