Ryan Adams has been praised as "one of rock's most talented songwriters” (SPIN). The 7-time Grammy nominated artist has 17 studio albums to his name, accumulating in millions of sales. He has produced albums for esteemed musicians including Willie Nelson, Jesse Malin, Jenny Lewis and has collaborated with some of music’s most influential artists such as Weezer, Fall Out Boy, America and many more.
 
Ryan’s profound contributions to music have taken many different forms. From his songwriting, to his producing, to fronting the rock/alternative country band Whiskeytown, and forming, “Ryan Adams & The Cardinals,” his ability to connect with audiences across a variety of different mediums is undeniable. Adams’ musical creativity was recognized early on and led to his NME Best Solo Artist win in both 2003 and 2004. In addition to his self-titled, double-Grammy-nominated 2014 album, Ryan’s catalogue includes Heartbreaker, Ashes & Fire, Easy Tiger, Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, Love Is Hell, his 2001 major label debut Gold, and more.
 
Ryan’s artistry is not limited to his songwriting capabilities. In 2009, he published Infinity Blues, a book of free verse poetry about his journey to self-realization, and Hello Sunshine, a collection of poems and short stories. Ryan’s passion for writing continues, and he is currently working on his first novel. His music has spanned multiple musical genres, and has been incorporated in film and television specials such as Judd Apatow’s top grossing production Bridesmaids, This is 40, popular HBO TV series’ True Blood and Felicity, and his song, ‘Stay Alive’ appeared in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, starring Ben Stiller.
 
In November 2014, Ryan performed a two-night engagement at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall, which turned into a critically acclaimed live album on PAX-AM records, a label specifically for his music releases.

Ryan is widely known for his powerful shows performed all over the world and regarded for his prolific songwriting. He has been praised by many music icons including Noel Gallagher, Taylor Swift and the legend Elton John, who described him as the “fabulous one.” Adams currently resides in Los Angeles, California with his five cats, typewriter, and coffee machine.

PLAIN AS GHOSTS draws on deep, personal experiences derived through love, loss and life. The intimate lyrics spark an outlook of hope and integrity which comes as a refreshing take on a genre typically fuelled by anger and aggression. The music is described as heavy and lyrically directed with hints of melodic ambience.

Comprised of Trevor Lux (vocals/guitar), Adam Halstrom (bass/vocals), Daniel Friesen (guitar/vocals) and Rodrigo Ramirez (drums), the band formed in the fall of 2014 and is based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. They rehearse from Trevor's home in Niverville - a rural community 30 km south of Winnipeg.

RENDERING is the band's self-produced debut album, hitting ears on May 27, 2016. The title "rendering" refers to the idea of creating or performing something as a means of processing emotion. Lead track "Monday Morning Quarterback" is a dynamic rock-alternative anthem about the simple act of passing judgement from a position of hindsight.

This prairie rock band draws upon many combined years of stage and studio experience. As such, PLAIN AS GHOSTS is excited to bring a dynamic, high energy performance to the stage with a dash of down to earth charm!

I have been a fan of music since I was a kid. I always had a natural attraction to intricate melodies and catchy lyrics. Some of the most notable musicians that have inspired me over the years are: Chris Carrabba, Andrew McMahon, Chris Martin, John Mayer, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix.

I am a sales professional and currently reside in Arlington, TX. The majority of my time goes to my job and spending time with my wife/daughters/family/friends. With that being said, I am still very passionate about music. I am a self-taught musician, singer, and songwriter focused on creating music that bleeds over into various genres. 

I created this profile to share my music and connect with other singers/songwriters/musicians. Please feel free to "Like" or "Comment" on any of my music. I am always looking for feedback!

Easy listening,

Weirdo who wants to share his sine waves with the world. Fun fact: My catholic religion teacher from school at the time introduced me to the world of digital recording and editing. So it's basically all his fault. He's definately going to hell for that.
