Stephanie Ryann

Named One to Watch by Nashville Songwriters Assocation

Former volunteer firefighter turned fashion model turned country artist, Stephanie Ryann is a woman who's got something to say from her storyteller lyrics to the way she empowers women through her songs. Ryann's unique vocal stylings showcase her influences from country, pop, and rock music which got her compared to the likes of Ashley McBryde and Sara Evans by her listeners.

The New England native is no stranger to the music industry, spending most of her late teens and early 20s auditioning for TV shows such as American Idol, Nashville Star, and The Voice to assist in jump-starting her career. When that proved to be more of a dead end than an open road, Ryann looked to friends and fellow musicians Eliot Lewis (of the legendary pop duo Hall & Oates) and Kevin Totoian to help forge her own path into the music industry. In late 2018, Ryann released her debut, self-titled, EP and has been releasing singles ever since.

We are very happy to welcome Stephanie back to Skål!
