Stuck in my mind

“Rise Unbroken” is my comeback song — not just another track, but my way of saying sorry to my fans. For a while, I let others shape my sound and pull me away from what was real. But Delta Dusk & Soul reminded me who I am — an outlaw country soul artist who writes from the heart, not from the crowd.

This song is me takin’ back my voice. Every line comes from the dirt, the wind, and the truth I nearly lost. No more chasing trends — just raw, honest music again.

This is my comeback.
This is my soul.
– Stephen Ryder

A Place That Wasn't Home

Tom Aldercastle-Barely broken in, Stuck in second gear, Third exit to nowhere, singles. A lot of stuff comes out now, hope you can handle it without a burnout. I hope you guy`s like something, STAY AWESOME!

Short bio; Genuine country boy, Born April 1980. Played some electric guitar and piano in high school. Joined an Oasis cover band in the early 2000`s. Worked as an merchant marine for some years, wrote songs for own fun. Joined the search and rescue in 2011. In 2015 as sitting as a local fire chief I began to do beats and lyrics for various bands but mainly rap. Now in 2025 I decided give out my own stuff and in the genre I like, not all the songs where in country style from the beginning though.

I want to thank all the listeners from the bottom of my heart for listening and pushing the "like" button. You who follow, I try to listen and follow you back but it`s a bit hectic right now.

See ya!  Tom
