“Midnight Confession” – Stephen Ryder
In the stillness of the night, truth rises like smoke.
Midnight Confession is a slow-burning blend of Country Soul and Southern Blues, laced with late-night longing and raw vulnerability. With a deep groove, warm organ, and a voice soaked in heartache and heat, this song is where honesty meets desire—and secrets meet the silence of midnight.

It’s not just a confession… it’s a surrender.

“Whiskey and Roots” – Stephen Ryder

This one runs deep—through family lines, backroads, and every scar that shaped the man. Whiskey and Roots blends Southern blues, Country soul, and gritty Americana, poured straight from the heart. With swampy guitar, organ swells, and a voice carved from fire and faith, it’s a song about heritage, struggle, and the things that stay with you long after the bottle runs dry.

The Quiet Kind by Stephen Ryder is a powerful tribute to the unsung heroes of everyday life—those who carry burdens in silence, give without asking, and stand firm without applause. With heartfelt lyrics and a warm, acoustic-driven sound, the song paints a moving portrait of resilience, humility, and grace. It’s a reminder that strength isn’t always loud—sometimes it’s quiet, steady, and rooted deep in the soul.

He Came to Pay a Debt by Stephen Ryder is a soul-stirring country gospel ballad that speaks to the heart of grace and redemption. With raw, emotional vocals and a stripped-down arrangement, the song tells the story of a Savior who stepped into the mess of humanity to cover a debt we could never repay. It’s a quiet, powerful reminder of love undeserved and mercy freely given—a timeless message wrapped in honest, heartfelt storytelling.

Broken Wings by Stephen Ryder is a hauntingly honest Southern country ballad about falling apart and finding the strength to rise again. With raw vocals and soul-stirring melodies, the song reflects on the pain of failure, the weight of regret, and the quiet hope that something broken can still fly. It’s not just about redemption — it’s about surviving long enough to believe in it.
