"AS GENUINE AS THEY COME ... A VERY COOL FIND TO SAY THE LEAST"
FUZZ FM — STONER ROCK RADIO

Fueled by perseverance and directed by a free conscience, Key writes from the soul. With roots planted in Northwest Arkansas, the award-winning songwriter and record producer is recognized as a versatile and passionate vocalist. Branching out from humble beginnings in school band, his passion for arrangement and composition came alive once he discovered Led Zeppelin and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Throughout 2020 Ryan invested his time into writing and recording New Old Stock during the pandemic. Leading in a new direction, the effort is a blended mix of soul, funk, roots, and rhythm and blues which fit the need of any given song. A tribute to classic soul music from Motown, Stax and Muscle Shoals. "The tracks are stunning. Exceptional!" per Betsie Brown, Blind Raccoon LLC of Memphis, TN. "This is the best Motown sh*t I've heard in years," said Bruce Bennett, a beloved, regional performing musician.

Many of his latest releases feature guitarist, Al Halpin, a respected bottleneck blues guitarist from upstate New York. PAL developed a unique “guitar weaving” style constructed purely by performing together live over the course of 400 shows. Their work can be best described as soulful rhythm and blues and roots. They continue to move forward with a new release, Stick To Your Guns. OUT NOW.
