Ryanhood Comes to Madison
Named 'Best Group/Duo' in the 2014 International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA's), acoustic-duo Ryanhood got their first break more than a decade ago as street-performers at Boston's Quincy Market. It was there that they were spotted by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene, where Campus Activities Magazine would name them "one of the most requested acts by college buyers all across the country." They've since gone on to perform more than 800 shows in 42 U.S. states over the past decade and have shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, American Authors, and have even been tweeted about by Ellen DeGeneres.
Cameron Hood's rich and folky lead vocals, Ryan Green's explosive guitar and mandolin riffs, and their airtight vocal harmonies prompted the Arizona Daily Star to call them, "a match made in radio heaven."
Their fifth and newest album, Start Somewhere, finds the band returning to the intimate storytelling and acoustic guitar interplay that was a hallmark of their early work as buskers. They currently reside in their hometown of Tucson, AZ, 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 will be performing at Arboretum Cohousing on Friday, July 3rd as part of their Start Somewhere tour. The concert will be held in Arboretum Cohousing's lovely Common House. Arbco is an intentional living community located in the heart of Madison's Greenbush neighborhood. With 40 units and 95 members, it is the largest of Madison's three cohousing communities.
This is the 5th in a series of concerts to raise funds for the restoration and purchase of a 1929 Mason & Hamlin grand piano. This very fine piano has allowed Arbco to open our doors to the Madison community for concerts, recitals, dances and non-profit functions.
What they're saying about Ryanhood:
"Hood's vocal delivery brings an affecting authenticity. Throughout, they play furiously together and Green's melodic leads and solos often provide the highlights. Their trademark acoustic folk-pop sound will remind some listeners of the work of Dan Fogelberg and Simon & Garfunkel." -Tucson Weekly
"The band seems like a match made in radio heaven. Ryanhood got a standing ovation after its act opening for pop star Jason Mraz. Cameron Hood and Ryan Green, armed with finger-flying acoustic-guitar solos, vocal harmonies and crowd-pleasing banter, easily won over the audience of more than 1,500." Arizona Daily Star
"Powerfully genuine tracks that convey positive messages of hope, acceptance, change, growth, and a better understanding of life's lessons. Ryanhood should be applauded for having the courage and sense of self to be so open-hearted in a hard, cruel world." - Zocalo Magazine
"One of the most requested acts by college buyers all across the country." - Campus Activities Magazine
