My primary instrument is my voice, and my guitar embellishes, accompanies, and decorates it. My sound and style are my own. Exposure to music and vocal styles of all types, ranging from standards to jazz to folk/traditional to blues, and to the music of Great Britain, the Appalachian Mountains of Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, have influenced my sound and led me to describe my music as "eclectic acoustic." I have opened for Christine Lavin and Dave Cousins and performed in Showcases and the Open Mic Finals at the Towne Crier Cafe in Pawling, NY, and appeared in venues in the Hudson Valley and Southwestern CT. I perform a good mix of songs, including my own compositions, covers, and traditional music. I like to tell the stories of the traditional songs I sing and might focus on the song's provenance, themes, imagery, history, depiction of characters, etc. Listeners tell me that they enjoy learning about this traditional music. | ||

“You can’t help being amazed at the power of her presence and the sound of her voice…you cant help but listen” said the Minneapolis Star Tribune when Barb Ryman first came on the music scene. Now a seasoned touring artist, her latest CD, Catch the Sunset, was a 2011 top-played album on the Folk DJ chart. Supported by Prairie Home Companion regulars, Peter Ostroushko and Prudence Johnson, the album is a sweet melodic ride flowing from intimate personal confessions to wise cultural commentaries. In concerts Barb delivers a rich mosaic of contemporary folk, drawing from celtic balladry, early rock, old-time gospel, and her own unique style, all carried with a crystalline voice and skillfully played guitar. A natural storyteller with captivating charm and disarming honesty on stage, Ryman is dedicated to writing music that is healing and restoring to the human spirit. She’s an award-winning songwriter and finalist in a number of festivals including the Winfield Folk Festival (2007), | ||
