Named ‘Best Group/Duo’ in the International Acoustic Music Awards, acoustic-duo Ryanhood got their first break as street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market. Since then, they’ve gone on to perform more than a thousand shows in 47 U.S. states over the past decade, and have shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, and their star is still on the rise. Ryanhood was recently named the “Discovery of the Year” by John Platt at WFUV in New York City and were a featured act at Australia’s National Folk Festival.
Ryanhood’s shows are driven by strong acoustic guitar interplay and turn-on-a-dime harmonies forged in a decades-long friendship. At turns energetic, hopeful, and quietly moving, Ryanhood offers an invitation to soak in a river of melodies and harmonic hooks; to reflect, laugh, sing, and to stand up and cheer.
Ryan David Green and Cameron Hood (Ryanhood) currently reside in their hometown of Tucson, Arizona, where they have won more than a dozen Tucson Music Awards including “Best Folk Band” and “Best Rock Band” (you can decide for yourself which is most accurate).
“Ryanhood took stage at 8 p.m. Consisting of two guitars and two guys in ties, this band won the crowd by 8:02. Receiving a standing ovation, I think Ryanhood will be this generation’s new mix of Simon and Garfunkel, America, and U2.” — Idaho State Journal
Ridiculously engaging with a brainy intellectualism not often seen in a pop song. . . . Ryan’s acoustic guitarwork creates a steady and solid foundation for Cameron’s lyrics to shine.” - American Songwriter Magazine
