For those who seek the resonance of the marrow of existence, Better/Worse dreams of a beacon of hope and harmony in a world that yearns for the echoes of its own wilderness. Ryland’s 2021 album, “XO 1945” was nominated for contemporary album of the year by the Canadian Folk Music Association. Ever the wanderer, Ryland has relentlessly toured Canada, the USA, UK, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.
Clever and emotive folk music from one of Canada's premier singer-songwriters. Songs and stories of the here and now, past and future. World class clawhammer and finger style banjo, flat picking guitar and folk balladry in the style of John Prine, Neil Young, Woody Guthrie and Bela Fleck.
